'Run, Come, See Jerusalem' publishing

Hi,
I'm desperately trying to track down the publisher for Blind Blake's "Run, Come, See Jerusalem." The information that BMI and the Harry Fox Agency can provide -- Hollis Music Inc, c/o TRO (The Richmond Organization) -- leads me to a disconnected phone number and a non-responding e-mail address. Does anyone know how I can get in touch with the song's publisher?
Experts, I'm hoping you'll do that voodoo you do so well...
Thanks,
Joevinyl@aol.com

Can't help to find Blind Blake's publisher.The only help I can offer is another version of the song,Frederick McQueen and Rev W.G.McPhee, is listed as trad arr performers, Happy Valley Music,BMI. That is the version on the Rounder Records,Kneelin' Down Inside the Gate. the sleeve notes have very interesting stuff about Joseph Spence witnessing the wreck that inspired the song,and finding the dead and their belongings on the beach.
   Blind Blake first recorded the song, but whether he wrote it is another question.

I don't know about the publishing but I learned the song from The Phoenix Singers, who recorded it in the mid-Sixties. I've since come to learn that Peter Tork played accompaniment behind The Phoenix Singers, although he's not named on either of their albums that I've been able to locate.
