I'm a 49 year old woman. All my life I heard the story of how my daddy wrote the "Answer To the Wild Side of Life" on a napkin in a bar in Texas. My mother was there at the time. They had ran off to Texas together. He was 37, she was 16. They were listening to the jukebox and "The Wild Side of Life" came on. She said she liked the song and my dad took a pencil and wrote the answer to the song right then and there on a napkin. He later sold it to Trumpet Records of Jackson, MS, out of desperation, for $200.00, rights and all. A few months later they were riding down the road and heard it on the radio being sung by Kitty Wells, name changed to "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels". I know there is no legal recourse but I would love for the truth to be told.
