Welcome To The World Of Pearle Rae

Country Style (Medley)
Welcome To The World Of Pearle Rae
Music Arranged And Conducted By Max Di Julo
Raemax 1002

Without Love, the first track on side is credited, words and music by Max Di Julio. From the back cover: Widely acclaimed composer, Max Di Julio, has composed music for films, television, orchestras and choirs; as well as for pop and jazz groups.

Apparently Rae was "Colorado's star-spangled Fourth of July girl"... That's all the back cover has to offer.

There are no online mentions of Rae or Julo that I could find.

This Old Is New - Sister Mary Renee On The Cordovox

Okie From Muskogee
This Old Is New
Sister Mary Renee - St. Francis Home, Breckenridge Minnesota.
Sound 80 - 26025

Now Sister Mary Renee may not have gigged in The Motel Lounge, unless she went looking for sinners to convert. Her track list doesn't include any gospel numbers, just good time thumpers like the the sample I've posted above.

From the back cover: Accompanying Sister Renee on this recording are her uncle, Mr. Norby Fisher, drums and Mr. Leo Nelson, banjo, from Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. The vocal numbers are sung by a recent employee of St. Francis Home, Sr. Rosemary Duggan, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Don Lee At The Mar-Key Organ

Lonesome Road
Don Lee At The Mar-Key Organ
Kaybank Recording Corp. - Minneapolis

From the back cover: Now a popular entertainer at the famed Mar-Key Club at the Hastings Hotel in Minneapolis, he is also well remembered by other private club members and by thousands of patrons of the old Covered Wagon in Minneapolis.

Curious album. It appears that Lee sat down and recorded each side in a single take.

Themes Of The Smokies
Louis & Audrey Stamey
Mark Five CR-4609
Rite Record Production - Cincinnati, Ohio - 28522

From the back cover: This is the second LP for "The Cherokee Sweethearts", Louis and Audrey Stamey. You'll find in this collection of songs many of the ones you've heard them play during their many years as a featured attraction on the Indian Reservation in Cherokee, on TV, radio and in hundreds of personal appearances. This is "the music of the Hills," their music and yours.

The Stamey's worked out of Drexel, North Carolina.

Recorded live at Bill Green's Golden Dragon - "Malia" Polynesian Room – Asbury Park, NJ.

No mention online of either Sam Makia or The Gold Dragon. From the photos the room is a box with drop ceilings, a few plastic trees and tropical print drapes over the windows. Fun!
