Knowing Dick's ability at composing and arranging, the fact that he 
might not have had the right changes to part of the tune doesn't bother 
me at all. He would just have written other ones that would have made it 
sound better anyway. Opinion by one who had the pleasure to be at 
several of his "garage band" rehearsals in Sun Valley.
