    I have two mp3's credited to Jack McVea and dated 1948. One is called
    "H.P. Boogie" and the other is "B.B. Boogie." The Blues Discography
    doesn't list either one, although McVea made about 20 records with
    "Boogie" in the title. I'm wondering if maybe the pianist is the artist
    on the label and McVea just played sax on the record. Anyone know?

    Thanks DEM

    Here's a clue. Both sides were issued on the same Comet lsingle as by
    Jack McVea and his All Stars. The "H.P. Boogie" writer credit is
    McVea. The "B.B. Boogie" tiitle is credited to both McVea and Mosley.
    Bob Mosley payed piano on other titles by McVea. But Bob Mosley also
    recorded under his own name like on Apollo, "B-Flat Boogie," 1946.

    So this was a one-off single on Comet while he was still the leader of
    the Black & White studio band?

    I see, Comet was a subsidiary of B&W. Thanks for your help.

    Don't understand why it was left out of the Blues Discography
    but...nobody's perfect, I guess.

    It's not in the original 1968 "Blues Records" by Slaven & Leadbitter
    either
