[edit] Bob Wills version of Ida Red

I have two references that state the Bob Wills version of Ida Red was very different than the "traditional fiddle tune" version. Is anyone going to counter those? Steve Pastor 21:25, 20 January 2007 (UTC) I see some sites that have this incorrect version. Nevertheless, the info in this article should be clarified. It was the Bob Wills version of Ida Red, which was not simply a fiddle version, that Berry was probably familiar with. Steve Pastor 20:03, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added a link for the quote from Johnnie Johnson (which I expanded) where he explains the genesis of the song, which counters the Frato/Wills story. Given he was involved and therefore biased, the article still needs a dissenting opinion from a third-party. John Cardinal 23:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
