Bill had been in the entertainment industry for over a decade before forming the Comets. He had been a cowboy yodeler with a "Country and Western Swing" band The Four Aces. Bill Haley also sang with the Saddlemen in the late 1940s Edited Sunday at 03:43 PM by 953 nut Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
