Christeson, who recorded Nebraska radio fiddler Bob Walters playing the tune in 1950, apparently did not think much of the tune as he requested Walters play his version after Christeson heard a live band playing a "Red Bird" tune over station KFNF, Shenandoah, Iowa. He included the tune in his volume "as part of the record, but there are other tunes more desirable."
