It’s difficult to say who comosed the tune, for both played together in the same band for 20 years. The labels of the recordings I have, some say Tom A., others name Tom G. - I haven’t found a sheet saying it was composed by Tom A. or Tom G. - thou I dedicate it to both (until there is a sheet music indicating one or the other)
