I agree, Steve, artists’ music should be available for publication, not secreted somewhere in someone’s dark, dusty safe.

Has anyone actually approached the Bulmer family? That would seem to be the sensible approach, rather than just pissing, moaning, and venting on an obituary thread on an insignificant, little-known Internet forum.

I don’t believe that the “I want something from you, but it’s up to you to contact me about it” type of approach is likely to bear any fruit whatsoever.
