Well that's all fine but doesn't answer any of my questions.  I very much 
doubt that the side labeled Ed Loyd has anything to do with Kirkeby.  As you 
point out,  the name Loyd is usually but not always a pseudo for  Kirkeby.

Is anyone aware of a commercial dance band issue on ARC of Louisiana 
Hayride?

Isn't Ray Seeley just another of those Columbia dime store band names like 
Lloyd Keating and Frank Auburn?  I did state that the vocal on You're The 
One I Care For is by Jack  Miller.

Thanks.
