The Downhomers
The Downhomers began in 1935 as a multipiece string band. The makeup of the band changed dozens of times over the course of its multi-decade existence and briefly included the pioneering rock and roll musician Bill Haley in 1944-1945. When the group recorded for Vogue in May of 1946, it comprised Everett "Shorty" Cook, Guy Campbell, Kenny Roberts, and Lloyd Cornell.
