Thanks for the clarification. I've no quarrel with Nigel Gatherer. He has made a great contribution to keeping folk music alive - and what an appropriate name for a collector! But it is interesting that he has found a place for Ashokan Farewell in his Scottish Collection.

We still have not established when the sheet music for Ashokan Farewell was published. Jack Campin has been unable to find anything to support his claim that ""Ashokan Farewell" was published by Mel Bay on 1 January 1983. Must have made Ungar a fair bit in that form, before the Civil War royalties started rolling in."

I don't know why Jack thinks that the size of the royalties is relevant. And I don't know why he thinks that his more disagreeable posts contribute to the discussion, e.g. "WorldCat lists far more different formats and arrangements for that piece of shit than I have the patience to sift through."
