Unsuccessful composer who never had a hit, due to his unerring ability to always back the wrong horse. Also staggeringly long-lived, based on the range of dates he writes about. Even if he wrote his "Confederate Victory Song" as a callow youth, he'd have to have lived to at least age 110 to 120 to then also write about the 1964 election.

The songs appear on two separate albums, Smash Flops, a comedy album which makes no mention of Foggy Carbuncle. And as a medley on the 1965 album Live from Ledbetters by folk group The Back Porch Majority.

The songs were actually composed by Richard Sherman and Milt Larsen.
