Well, there's that cool piano intro that is often cut from the shortened version the pop stations use ... :)

Lyrics excerpt ...

...
he song's story led to a lot of speculations and detractors.

Per Murphy "

The song came from deep down in my subconsciousness. My grandfather told me a story when I was a little boy about a legendary ghost horse that the Indians talked about. In 1936, author J. Frank Dobie identified this ghost horse story as the most prominent one in the lore of the Southwest.

From "cowboy singer" Michael Martin (middle name added later to his "official" title) Murphy's most successful 1975 album Blue Sky " Night Thunder

[Verse 1]
She comes down from Yellow Mountain
On a dark, flat land she rides
On a pony she named Wildfire
With a whirlwind by her side
On a cold Nebraska night

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Oh, they say she died one winter
When there came a killing frost
And the pony she named Wildfire
Busted down his stall
In a blizzard, she was lost

[Chorus]
She ran calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire
Calling Wildfire

[Verse 3]
So by the dark of the moon, I planted
But there came an early snow
Been a hoot-owl howling outside my window now
'Bout six nights in a row
She's coming for me, I know
And on Wildfire we're both gonna go

[Chorus]
We'll be ridin' Wildfire
Ridin' Wildfire
Ridin' Wildfire

On Wildfire we're gonna ride
Gonna leave sodbustin' behind
Get the hard times right on out of our minds
Riding Wildfire

Art Tatum - Have You Met Miss Jones? (1956)

Mr Webster's sax starts around 1:35 into the song.

Emotional.

Also in that song is Mr Tatum's great piano playing. A little more, um, flowery, than I usually like,but excellent. At a level of Teddy Wilson's piano playing.

Nat King Cole

... Nathaniel Adams Coles ...

Cole began his career as a jazz pianist in the late 1930s, when he formed the King Cole Trio, which became the top-selling group (and the only black act) on Capitol Records in the 1940s. Cole's trio was the model for small jazz ensembles that followed.

Starting in 1950, he transitioned to become a solo singer billed as Nat King Cole.

Despite achieving mainstream success, Cole faced intense racial discrimination during his career. While not a major vocal public figure in the civil rights movement,

Cole was a member of his local NAACP branch and participated in the 1963 March on Washington. He regularly performed for civil rights organizations.

From 1956 to 1957, Cole hosted the NBC variety series The Nat King Cole Show, which became the first nationally broadcast television show hosted by a Black American. ...

Yeah, he can play piano ...

Facts About Benny Goodman Even Jazz Buffs Might Not Know
themusicalheritagesociety.com

... He wasn't just the "King of Swing." Benny Goodman broke barriers, launched careers, and transformed jazz into a movement that swept across dance floors and radio waves during the 1930s and 40s.

While many remember his chart-topping hits and sharp tuxedos, there's a lot more to Goodman than most people realize.

From breaking racial boundaries to sneaking off to classical music gigs, here are some lesser-known facts that shed light on this American icon.

He Was a Pro Musician Before He Turned 14

Benny Goodman grew up in Chicago's Maxwell Street neighborhood, one of twelve children in a family of Russian Jewish immigrants. Life wasn't easy, but Goodman's clarinet playing stood out early. He joined the local musicians' union at just 13 years old and began earning money as a professional musician. Some of those early gigs included bands led by Bix Beiderbecke and Ben Pollack, giving him firsthand experience in jazz before he even reached high school.

His 1938 Carnegie Hall Concert Changed Music History

Swing music had never been played at Carnegie Hall before Benny Goodman performed there on January 16, 1938. Some critics scoffed, believing jazz didn't belong in such a prestigious venue. Goodman didn't just prove them wrong -- he blew the roof off.

Goodman Was One of the First to Integrate His Band

In the 1930s, having an integrated band was almost unheard of -- but Goodman didn't care.

He brought pianist Teddy Wilson and vibraphonist Lionel Hampton into his groups, breaking unspoken rules and helping pave the way for progress in civil rights within music.

His focus was on talent, not skin color, and that quiet rebellion resonated far beyond the bandstand. It wasn't just bold; it was a turning point. ...

Dawes - A Little Bit of Everything (2011)

Lyrics excerpt...

genius.com

...
With his back against the San Francisco traffic
On the bridge's side that faces towards the jail
Setting out to join a demographic
He hoists his first leg up over the rail

A phone call's made, police cars show up quickly
The sergeant slams his passenger door
He says, "Hey son why don't you talk through this with me?
Just tell me what you're doing it for"

"Oh, it's a little bit of everything
It's the mountains, it's the fog
It's the news at six o'clock
It's the death of my first dog"

"It's the angels up above me
It's the song that they don't sing
It's a little bit of verything"

There's an oldr man who stands in a buffet line
He is smiling and he's holding out his plate
And the further he looks back into his timeline
That hard road always led him to today

Making up for when his bright future had left him
Making up for the fact his only son is gone
And letting everything out once, his server asks him
"Have you figured out yet, what it is you want?"

I want a little bit of everything
The biscuits and the beans
Whatever helps me to forget about
The things that brought me to my knees

So pile on those mashed potatoes
And an extra chicken wing
I'm having a little bit of everything

Somewhere a pretty girl is writing invitations
To a wedding she has scheduled for the fall
Her man says, "Baby, can I make an observation?
You don't seem to be having any fun at all."

She said, "You just worry about your groomsmen and your shirt-size
And rest assured that this is making me feel good."
I think that love is so much easier than you realize
If you can give yourself to someone, then you should

Cause it's a little bit of everything
The way you joke, the way you ache
It is getting up before you
So I can watch you as you wake

So on the day in late September
It's not some stupid little ring
I'm getting a little bit of everything
Oh, it's a little bit of everything
It's the matador and the bull
It's the suggested daily dosage
It's the red moon when it's full

All these psychics and these doctors
They're all right and they're all wrong
It's like trying to make out every word
When they should simply hum along

It's not some message written in the dark
Or some truth that no one's seen
It's a little bit of everything
...
