    From the booklet by Gary B. Reed that came with my Stanley Brothers box   
   set:   
      
        "This session (Nov. 1957) marked the debut of Bill Napier, a young   
   and extremely talented mandolin player who joined the group earlier   
   in the summer. The first selection recorded at the session was a   
   mandolin instrumental which Napier had written called Daybreak In   
   Dixie."   
      
        Apparently, as band leader, Carter Stanley ended up getting credit   
   for the song, but it was really Napier's.   
      
   Now if somebody could explain to me the difference between Daybreak In   
   Dixie and Ralph's Banjo Special. :)
