Carrie Smith & The Midnight Ramblers
Please Don't Laugh

 Here is a nice unlisted bopper from Texas on the Jamaka label. 

Not listed in discogs  (36 singles and one LP listed on Jamaka)
Not listed in 45cat (19 singles on Jamaka)

The number of good records that remain to be discovered, especially from the Lone Star State, is astonishing, 

The Jamaka songs were usually published by Cherie Music, but curiously enough not that one  : Sturdevantunes is a publisher unfrequently seen (Sturbevantunes on the label is certainly a typo, composers are Carrie L. Smith and Jo Cyrer.

Carrie Smith composed at least two songs, but they were probably some more : 
one was recorded by Orville Couch some 10 years before this one : Five Cent Candy (on Starday) 
and the other by Johnny Dollar which remained unissued : Car Coat Baby.
