Thanks, Bonnie.

I thought it was "We'll Sing" too, but Joe was right and I'm glad he was -- prevents embarrassing mistakes on liner notes!

See above post by Suffet: you are supposed to pay royalties on anything you don't own that has not passed into public domain: a songwriter can release you from that obligation if he or she chooses -- the owner of a work is free to make alternative royalty arrangements, but doesn't have to.

I know that RT's publisher is Bug Music because he told me himself and made me a hyperlink to them. I have attempted to contact them more than once. The next step is to follow the Copyright Office protocols, which I will do.

All the best to everyone. Thanks for your help.
