Naa.....let's get off the Moennig discussion (PLEASE!) and stick with this
stuff!

Did you also know Ed that Edwin Franko Goldman had a colleague who sketched
the outline for many of his marches and, in some cases, plain wrote new
marches under the auspice of EF Goldman? His name? Erik Leidzen. There
are many stories like these for other march composers. I always wonder why
they did what they did.

I had heard of the pseudonyms for Fillmore, but the name harold Bennett
didn't sound right until you mentioned Will Huff - then it kind of sprang
back.

Thanks for mentioning this - always nice to remember stories I had heard
from past people who actually worked with these guys.
