Right; the liner notes have the full story.  Hugh Cregg was a friend of 
Ralph's, a jazz loving medical doctor who, at one time, played in the big 
bands. As a matter of interest, Hugh Cregg is the father of Hugh Anthony 
Cregg who sports the stage name of Huey Lewis. Everyone knows Huey Lewis and 
the News.

I don't know the answer to that one.
