There are quite a few pictures of them. One has been released to the public for years. A few unreleased photos were released to the public by Marilyn Bishop-Piekarski. This group evolved from The Juveniles on the Mode label, and Marilyn was the lead. There's a very detailed article about them that I assisted with. It's featured on Charlie and Pam Horner's website (You'll easily find it if you google it)
My mother died when i was 3yrs old,,i lived with my grandmother and she played this song much,,as i got older know had ever heard of it, and the funny part was that i knew all the words,,,Ty for this,,i loved this song~~~
The large print is not conclusive of it being a Monarch pressing, but more likely than not, a record like that IS Delta. Other clues are VERY shiny labels and very stark, sharp angles in the vinyl under the labels.
I meant to say before (but I ran out of room), I'll check with Ron about those doowop break-ins, first and anything he can't get I'll toss over to you. He helped me with the list I wrote in the back of the Dickie Goodman book 14 years ago, "Dickie Goodman: King Of Novelty".
A beautiful sad song that, I'm sure many of us can identify with. Very clever use of the poker metaphor to make the point.

summer of 1961, I had a free copy, a girl I was dating gave it to me, her grandfather wrote the song, his name was Carl Nutter

I see Carl's name on the label, although it looked like he cowrote this with a few other people

I can see the Z number, but, it looks like it has Deltas, too.

I never noticed a Delta in this and I've had many copies of this over the years. I'll check though
