Joe and Soudough:

Many years ago we did The MTA on KPFA (the station in Berkeley that is currently going through such troubles). We credited Bess Hawes and Jacqueline Steiner as the composers. While we were on the air, someone called and swore that this song was composed by a bartender in North Beach by the name of "Specs". We said that we got our information from Sing Out! and were quite certain of its correctness. Nevertheless, this has haunted us for more than fifteen years and this is the first time anyone else has mentioned it. Could there be any truth to this?
