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!
