Just curious, if any of the following Okehs are rare. Do they date mainly to the 30's or later? Are they mainly cowboy/western type music?

Dick Jurgens was a hotel bandleader, nothing to connect him to cowboy music/western swing that I know of.

Many of the records on the list are at least superficially connected to cowboy music/western swing.
Dating from the 1930's and later and none that look especially rare or valuable.

The Ted`Daffan's Texans/Bob Wills/Bob Atcher & Bonnie Blue Eyes discs would be the first things I'd grab if I saw them in a store.

Thanks for the help!

I really like your avatar...your so right 78's do rule!
