Picture of Radio Dot at www.beavertownnews.com/index.php/history-corner-history-a... My guess is that the guy there is Smokey Swan, shown below her (in suspenders) in the Gottlieb picture. books.google.com/books?id=g2jSdOR8aUkC&pg=PA93&lp... indicates that they were married. His real name was Louis W. Swan and she was born Dorothy Maxine Henderson.

books.google.com/books?id=dmZjDsgUq9cC&lpg=PA98&o... indicates that Smokey Warren had a band named the Arizona Trailblazers which changed to the Mountain Dew Boys with sponsorship from Pepsi. The band's name seems to have been Arizona Trailblazers in 1959, according to Billboard of 8/31/1959 books.google.com/books?id=NgoEAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA56&d... Dottie Mae (a later stage name for Radio Dot) was still touring with him!

Presumably one of these guys is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Tubb He led the Texas Troubadours which played at the first Grand Ole Opry show from Carnegie Hall. PIctures at www.hillbilly-music.com/artists/story/index.php?id=10193 would seem to confirm that Tubb is in the light suit in the middle. But Bob McCoy doesn't seem to have been a member of the band. Maybe he's the guy hiding behind Tubb -- perhaps adjusting a mike.
