30	[1]Ervin T. Rouse wrote this song (c. 1938), inspired by the railway							30
31	train called the Orange Blossom Special's christening and inaugural							31
32	run (from Miami to New York). Co-authorship is often credited to Florida							32
33	fiddler, Robert Russell “Chubby” Wise (1916-1996), although the copyright							33
34	is in Rouse’s name, supposedly due to Wise’s assertion that ‘there was no							34
35	money in fiddle tunes and that Rouse could copyright it himself, for all							35
36	the good it would do’ (Wise drove a cab at the time). Wise himself							36
37	maintained that he and Rouse were at the Jacksonville Seaboard Railroad							37
38	Station when the train came through on its maiden run from Miami. Rouse							38
39	suggested that they write a tune and Chubby agreed. The two went back to							39
40	Wise’s house and wrote the piece in forty-five minutes, while his wife							40
41	cooked them breakfast. The tune was recorded by Ervin and his brother							41
42	Gordon in New York in June, 1939, but the tune did not become a hit until							42
43	Bill Monroe’s recording of it in 1942 (with Art Wooten on fiddle).]							43
