    and the K-6 Wranglers (see more below)
    Leon Jerry "Jack" Guthrie
    (1915 –1948) was a songwriter and performer whose rewritten version of the
    Woody Guthrie
    song "
    Oklahoma Hills
    " was a hit in 1945.
    The two musicians were cousins
    .
    Guthrie's rewritten version of a Woody Guthrie song "
    Oklahoma Hills
    " (Capitol 201) reached No. 1 in 1945, staying on the charts for 19 weeks. The b side, "I'm A Brandin' My Darlin' With My Heart", reached No. 5 later that year.
    Guthrie's style was influenced by
    Jimmie Rodgers
    and adapted to fit his cowboy image.  Although the labels listed 'Jack Guthrie & His Oklahomans' as the artist, in reality Guthrie had no working band. The studio brought in some of its better musicians to back Guthrie. Many of them, like
    Porky Freeman
    ,
    Red Murrell
    ,
    Cliffie Stone
    , and
    Billy Hughes
    were recording artists in their own right.

    The K-6 Wranglers
    . . . “recognized as the leading Western and Hillbilly musical organization of the Pacific Northwest . . .”
    there is a bio of them and a group photo in the song book.
    The members included:
    Bonnie and Paul Tutmarc (their autographs are elsewhere in the book) ~
    Julie Seguin
    ~
    Ted Borson
    ~
    Alvin Anderson
    ~
    Steve Barrett . . .
    (the 4 bold names have autographs in the photo . . . along with a Bill Klein?)
    In about 1946 the K-6 Wranglers added a few new members including a talented couple, steel guitarist Paul Tutmarc and his wife, singer/guitarist Bonnie Tutmarc. He was one of the earliest pioneers of the electric steel guitar, and she -- under the stage name of “Bonnie Guitar” -- would go on to score many national hits (beginning in 1957 with “Dark Moon”), ultimately becoming the Northwest’s top homegrown country star.
    In 1943 a former carnival entertainer from Missouri named
    Buck Ritchey
    arrived in Seattle, hired on as a DJ at Seattle’s KVI radio, and went on to be the most locally influential country music taste-maker around.
