I'm working on building up the content to the JS & The Children album page in the Penguin Discog & I noticed a "D. Senek" as a writer along with Jeremy on the songs "Joan Of Arc", "Someone Told Me", "Beauty For Ashes" & "War Horse" and I was trying to get Senek's first name for completeness (rather than just entering them in the database with just "D" for the first name) and when I checked these songs at the BMI site, these songs there are just listed as being written only by Jeremy so I couldn't figure it out that way (or by Google searches etc.). So, does anyone know Senek's first name? (and Jeremy, it's completely understandable if you'd prefer not to divulge their name here, as I know it's not your favorite recording and many involved with that project seemed to just use first (probably pseudonym) names (like the musicians etc.) and I realize that you may not even know some of the real names of those people anyways, so we can keep it as is, just thought I'd ask is all.

Anyways, any help on this would be great, thanks in advance for any replies that might appear here related to this.

Yes, John, Senek's first name is David. And he is currently living in Denmark, which would account for the credit on that Eurovision song. An excellent and inspired songwriter.
Boaz' real name is Paul Sarran from LA
Ginnethon's is Skip Whalen from New York
Phil Ham is Gregory Morton from Dallas
Moriah? I don't remember. It's been thirty years since we had contact! And in fact about the same with the others.
David (he's from Ohio) and I did cowrite those four songs mentioned above. I have never received any royalties for those songs or any others on this album so I don't know about the mix up with BMI. It seems as usual these companies continue on in their own sweet way until someone has the time and money to holler, and I have to be judicious with both these days!
Hope this is helpful.
Sincerely, Jeremy.
