[Dixielandjazz] Verses

[Hal Vickery]

I'm playing the 10/31/27 Gennett recording by Hoagy Carmichael and his Pals
right now.  It starts with the verse.  AFAIK this is the first recording of
the song.  I don't see any way that Redman could have written it.

I've always heard that the verse was inspired by a lick by Bix.

Nat Cole on Who's Sorry Now, Ella on quite a few ballads. Turk Murphy, 
too, did verses. The foregoing list is not ranked.

I read somewhere that Don Redmond composed the verse to Star Dust.  Is 
that true?
