[78-L] Dating two late Canadian RCA 78s

[David Lennick]

If it was a Christmas release for the Quebecois market, it was probably on 78 
and recorded acoustically, by Gar.

I think I have those same 2 78s..I know I have Charlie Brown and one other 
Jerolas. Definitely 1959. (They did a great "Flowers on the Wall" a few years 
later. Not on 78.)
