... that Cajun accordion musician Nathan Abshire's time in the U.S. Army inspired him to write the crooner song "Service Blues", which was reported as "one of his most memorable tearjerkers"?
- ALT1:... that musician Nathan Abshire was considered to be an "accomplished musician" at 8 years old ~~due to learning~~ when he learned to play on an accordion that costs him $3.50?

Comment: DYKcheck is wrong about this not having been expanded 5x.

5x expanded by SL93 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:40, 1 February 2021 (UTC).[reply]

@SL93: This article is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and a QPQ has been done. Earwig brought up a few sentences that you will need to rewrite to remove close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:20, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cwmhiraeth Dang. That’s what I get for not checking the content that was there before my expansion. I will take care of it SL93 (talk) 18:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cwmhiraeth I took care of it. Done. SL93 (talk) 18:57, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I have rephrased the ALT1 hook to match the source, and either hook could be used. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

“First female zydeco recording artist”[edit]

Why is that claim even there (re Sheryl Cormier). Queen Ida Guillory has been active much longer. Bovianchovy (talk) 23:39, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
