author.
Someday soon I'll have to send her a print-out of the (dozens of)
recordings that do that song. >>
As far as the recording on Maxwell Street Wedding is concerned, make sure to
tell her that Global Village isn't paying the band royalties, either! We
will send her .5 per recording once we re-issue it ourselves (and the same to
Josh Waletsky for Wissotsky's Tea--don't worry Reyzl!).
In the meantime, I am sure that she is aware that there is a certain status
in having one of your compositions achieve the anonymous status of "folk
song" in your own lifetime!
