“Beginning in the 1940s, Miller frequently wrote with his second wife, Esther Van Sciver. He collaborated with her until a little over a year before her death in 1952.97 The last copyright entry for the two of them (Esther Van Sciver and pseudonym Shelby Darnell) was “I Don’t Want No More of Army Life, Gee, Mom, I Want To Go Home,” which fittingly stems from a song dating back to World War II, from December 29, 1950”

Bob Miller AKA: Ben Burd, Bill Palmer, Bob Burnett, Bob Ferguson, Bob Hill, Bob Stukeley, Bud Thompson, Floyd Carter, Joe Adams, Memphis Bob, Slick Palmer, Trebor Rellim.

Note: Depending on how all the release dates finally sort out, the Korean War era Van Sciver, Darnell & Kay take is much closer to Seeger-Hays, or vice versa, who knows. Moss Hart & Winged Victory, never get a mention. Gitz Rice is further away still.
