Ernie McKay (? - ?) led a territory band in Columbus, Ohio. Musicians in his band are not known, although a young Dean Martin (then known as Dino Crocetti) sang with the band in the 1930s. It was McKay who changed Crocetti’s name to Dino Martini. In addition, Paul 'Snook' Neal, who was inducted into the Columbus Senior Musicians Hall of Fame in 1996, played with the band.
