  1. Thanks for the Label shot. I had the A side on a collector CD with mis- spelled name as Granger without the i. Also Bj's guide states Kelley as from (CA) wrongly not (TX) as shown. Kelely (TX)(CA) ? 45 - 103 Shorty Bacon "Your Smiling At Me listed as Rock 'N' Roll but never heard it, Only The (1959) Mohawk (CA) 45 - 103 as Charles Bacon & His Rhythm Rascals. But I'm guessing its a repress? Note the Mowhawk 45 was pressed twice with alt flip sides.

  2. Kelley was one of a handful of labels run by Sonley Roush with others being Knickerbocker (a few 45s by Bobby Osborn) and Westwood. The only other release on Kelley that I'm aware of is a two sided trumpet instro by my neighbor Don Stice and the Debonairs. I'll have a piece up on them close to the end of the summer at LoneStarStomp. There is one other release by the Believers on the AOK label.
