[Dixielandjazz] Hoagie's Stardust

[billsharp]

Did Hoagie write the verse to Stardust?   The way I heard it,  the song 
originally had no verse, but Bix Beiderbeck added it for him. So, what 
can you folks out there tell me.  The verse itself is so gorgeous, it 
sounds like something that Bix would write, so I've accepted that 
story.  Is it something that I've taken hook line and sinker?   I have 
wanted to know for years.
