"With All My Love":  Golden Album of Desert Songs
Marked Custom (Lenmar Music - BMI); Vocal with accomp.
Manufactured by Universal Recorders of Calif., Inc., 6757 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood 28, Calif.
Side 1 (UR-198-A):  "With All My Love", "Smoke Trees in the Sun", "Christmas Time in the Valley", "Desierto Mio"
Side 2 (UR-198-B):  "Coachella (Land of the Little Shell)"; "Chapel in the Palms"; "I Found My Golden Valley"; "Beyond the Road"
All the songs were written by Lois Elder Roy.  The back of the album has a nice biography of Ms. Roy, who was a noted desert poetess and contributor to Desert Magazine.  She lived in Arizona before, during and immediately after World War II.  In 1940, she won first prize in the Arizona Federation of Woman's Clubs play-writing contest.  In 1948, she and her second husband moved to Palm Desert, California, where he established "The House of Roy - Realtors" in Palm Desert.  They established a local newspaper, The Palm Desert "Resorter".  I was able to find some ads in local paper from 1959 advertising this album, by mail order; I assume that the record was recorded in that year.
All the songs are sung by Don Gordon.  I don't have any solid information about this person.
