The song "Maggie" is public domain (even though Jerden slapped I.M.
Flowers on it as author) having been written in the 19th century. So
there is no royalties on it. Accounting took care of any royalties back
in the day of the release of the 45s, LPs and CDs.

Bhairitu, that reminds me: is whoever wrote the songs for Magic Fern
still getting royalties?
A friend of mine over here who fronted a pub covers band wrote a few
original songs; they were never released commercially but he sent
recordings out to all the local and national radio stations and they
actually got airtime. Decades later he occasionally gets a cheque from
the Performing Right Society.
