"Montana Mel" was fronting the "Sunset Pioneers" over WTOL in Toledo, Ohio
in 1954, a band he had formed about a year earlier. A 1954 article mentions
he had been doing personal appearances and had been a member of various bands in the area in the five
years prior to that.
A 1953 article tells us he was being heard over the air at WTOL at 7:30pm each
Saturday night.
