I think Charley is crediting me with more knowledge that I actually have. Though native-born, I haven't lived in America for over 35 years (based in England then Ireland) so I've been out of touch with a lot of things. I once spent a few years in Boston and his was a vaguely familiar name which rang a bell, and I simply wondered if it was he who wrote the words. I certainly didn't mean to stir up a (potential, I guess) hornet's nest, and honestly didn't know I was. It's very nice to learn of this song, anyway; and apologies to Obray.
