Dear Sheik,
You threw me for a minute by not changing the subject line.
I had forgotten about that Cummins' version of "Hand Me Down My Walking 
Cane" which, as you will have noted from my last message on this 
subject, uses the same basic lyrics I included.
The credit to 'Body" was one that cropped up in my composer research 
yesterday, along with George McKay, Paul Yoder, and Ruth Artman.I 
assumed it to be another 'arranger' but maybe it IS the name of the 
original author.
Kind regards,
Bill.
