I assure you that John Foreman was absolutely certain that John Horrocks was the perpetrator. Since John was sure it was properly published for copyright purposes, once our Spring Bank Holiday is over on Tuesday I might put in a call to the Performing Right Society and/or the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society and see who they list as the copyright owner. After all, if it was only written (as just about everyone seems to believe) in the 30s or 40s, it's still in copyright under English law (70 years from the death of the creator). Will report back on any results, positive or negative.
