Denis247 8th Nov 2024		78 RPM Lonnie Donegan And His Skiffle Group - My Dixie Darling / I'm Just A Rollin' Stone (1957)	MOONDOG My info is from my own database on Meek recording, compiled over the years from many sources but mostly from the Joe Meek Society. I don't know exactly where I got this particulat info from unfortunately. BTW The 'B' side was recorded at the same session. There's a blog that mentions the location/date of recordings but not who did them at https://countrydiscoghraphy2.blogspot.com/2014/02/lonnie-donegan.html
