A Jarrett Enterprises Release

late sixties?

This song, written in 1951, is also known as "I Tan't Wait Till Quithmuth Day" and was recorded by Mel Blanc on Capitol Records. 

Jarrett Spotswood Lickle and Liz, his wife (born Murray) formed Jarrett Enterprises Releases in Baltimore in 1967, a record label " which will record the best in previously unattached talent, young people who deserve to be heard.  "

Jarrett was better known as Patches.  He was a local children's television personality in Philadelphia and Baltimore in the 50s.  He died recently (in 2012).

 

 Patches and Liz left local television in 1962 and soon opened
 their own coffee house in Timonium, called The 15 Below,
so named because it was 15 steps under the first floor.

  Teddy Rich and his band, in the sixties, entertained various supper venues in and around Lebanon, Pennsylvania, often sharing the bill with Johnny Barker and His Seven Redcoats.   But further info on this band is not available online.

Music Exploitation Enterprises was owned by Bert Gardner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The company published various music instrument courses (Fender bass jazz,  Dixieland tenor banjo... ) in the early sixties.  The Teenage label was perhaps a subsidiary of his company.

Bert Gardner had a long association with songwriter Whitey Trapnell   :  earlier, in 1952, they co-wrote the libretto and the musical score of a western musical comedy, titled "Tops and Bottoms" .

Bert Gardner was perhaps the Broadway vaudeville actor (1887-1967)
