Plausible explanation.  They were already tinkering with a song, melody, lyrics, this awful event comes along, they finish it up with a slightly different focus, and that's that. We've all heard the explanations about the night before, the night of, the Marysville date, etc.  I'm sure it all sort of jumbled together in their collective memories. Who knows.  Nothing to obsess over. Point is, there were a couple of influences, it occurred over a couple of days, and we have a great song in the bargain.  Thanks for posting, it was an interesting read.

Salt Lake City has the same problem too. Conflicting stories on that too.

Thanks for the link, a very enjoyable (and informative) read.  I'd love to see Fred, Brian and Mike get together as the end of the article suggests, if for no other reason than that there are great stories to be told from those early days!
