Thanks for yor additional input on Charlie Moore. Would you post the source material for your information, and give the specific years the individuals won the awards cited, if you know? Do you have any copyright information different from the Zap Publishing Co. given by Les B? If you have contact information for Zap,it would be appreciated.

It feels good to know that I am not alone in questioning the "originality" of a song that apparently received so much praise. If you are aware of others that may be able to provide input on any of the open questions, please draw their attention to this thread.
