POSSIBLE, recorded September 8/58. this is listed in the decca books but with 
no reference to Miller, no personnel listed.

Miller is also listed as playing guitar and singing on Justin Tubb's "Mine is a 
Lonely Life", Decca 9-30792, recorded Oct. 29/58. Note that this one is shown 
with a 9- prefix but 30763 isn't, in the Decca books, so it might have been on 78.

POSSIBLE on Mercury in Canada. The Starday affiliation was in 1957 and '58.
