March 8, 2000 - Pee Wee King Dies Feature (1505 words)
It was Autry who dubbed his new bandleader "Pee Wee," in deference to the fact that, at 5 feet six inches, he was the smallest member of the band and also to distinguish him from other "Franks" in the band.
Though Pee Wee would later be invited to appear in a number of Autry pictures, he decided to stay in radio for the time being.
Pee Wee was very much enthralled with some of the new swing bands on the air -- especially Bob Wills, Louise Massey and the Westerners and Clayton McMichen's Georgia Wildcats -- and he began to incorporate their new sounds into his music.
