Hey Dale! I'm not 100% about this, because I never asked, but the way I understand it, even though the people after whom he named the songs may not have written them, these are the people who played these songs that first inspired him. That's just my idea... I just remember that, when I expressed my love for "Quelle Etoile" to my dad, he said, "Oh! You GOTTA hear Alpheé Bergeron do it!" And he grabbed the record and had me listen to it. So, on the album, "Quelle Etoile" is called "La Valse a Alpheé Bergeron".
Right...anyway, any of you who might not have it and are interested can check out at least two of the songs from it here http://www.myspace.com/marcsavoyappreciationpage
I don't remember how many are there, but I'm too lazy to go look right now.
