Actually, it appears that the chorus is the sameon both versions; it’s just the verse that’sdifferent. Now I’m wondering how much themusic itself is alike. If that too is the same, weshould at least create a credit like some otherswe’ve had here (by Williams-Graham, basedlargely on song of same title by David Young& Charles Warfield).Later Haesler did a careful analysis of all therecordings; only two carried the nameWarfield, and one of those (Ida Cox,Paramount 12334) sings the Graham verse.The simple fact is that it was the Graham-Spencer version that the world came to know.One site that specialized in earlier versionsmakes the point that Root published themboth to let them compete—and Graham-Williams won the competition.I Ain’t Takin’ Orders from No One(Fred Rose–Ted Shapiro)Fried Potatoes 11631163 said Ted Shapiro-Billy Rose.Oops, not in Rust--that’s odd.

Its first outing on recordwas an LP made in Adelaide, Australia on 29>December 1978, 'OZ Turk'. (Jazz & JazzRecords 6357 903 with notes by Bill Haesler.Now available on a 2CD set 'Oz Turk Plus'BAC-07-2 with notes by the late RonHalstead).The Turk Murphy band was on a tour ofthe eastern Australian states and attendedthe 33rd Australian Jazz Convention inAdelaide as special guests. As they featured"I Am Pecan Pete" on several occasionswhile here, I have always assumed that thetune was, at that time, a recent composition.Therefore, I have always dated it at 1978.And Goggin’s book Turk Murphy on Recordhas talk with Turk about how/why he wrote it.I Believe in Miracles (Pete Wendling–George W.
