Abstract
The history of the Light Crust Doughboys, a Western-swing musical group from Fort Worth, Texas, personifies the history of radio from the 1930s to the 1950s. In addition to launching the careers of a U.S. Senator and a Governor of Texas (W. Lee O'Daniel) and a seminal figure in 20th century music (Bob Wills), the Doughboys acted as participants in many significant aspects of radio history. These included the prevalence of live musical performances during the early years of radio, the dominance of the advertising agencies, union clashes over the use of transcriptions, and the decline of network- radio series as television emerged.
