MY ADOBE HACIENDA was a Billboard Top Ten Hit in 1947.  There are a couple 
of CD's available of their music.  Mark Dinning (TEEN ANGEL) was one of 
their brothers.

>  Just played some records and two of them have popped some questions in my 
> head.  On days like this, when I'm cold, snow-bound and need to do inside 
> things, I  grab piles of 78s,  put them on the  turntable without looking 
> at their title and  enjoy, plus tell myself I will recognize the song and 
> the artist.
>  Two failed my test, I recognized the songs, but not the artists.  First 
> was   the Dinning Sisters singing "If I had my life to live over" and "My 
> Adobe Hacienda", It's on Capitol, with the Art Van Damme quintet. The 
> other was Charlie Monroe, singing "Our Mansion is Ready" and" A Valley of 
> Peace".  He's backed up by "His Kentucky Pardners".  It's on RCA Victor. 
> Don't have any idea how long since I  may have played these records

> appreciate any data  on them from this always knowledgeable  group.
