[78-L] Roger Miller

[David Lennick]

Interesting..the Decca Books Vol. 5 list one session in December 1958 "with ?" 
and don't cross reference Donny Young. For that to have been issued that late 
on 78 in Canada, it would have to have had sales potential. There's a vague 
possibility..a better chance for the Mercurys, although Starday went through a 
different distributor up here (Sparton).

>>> Roger Miller (1936-1991) would have been 75 today. He recorded early enough to have been on a 78 but I've never seen one. First records were for Mercury/Starday in 1957 and Decca in 1958 or '59 so it's possible they were issued on 78 in Canada. Any of our NOB friends have any?
