OK, off topic, but since we're talking Bob Gibson, does anyone remember his Vermont Maid Syrup commercial? It aired the same time "Marching To Pretoria" was getting radio play. Around 1989 I got to tell him how much I liked it.

A cagey old pirate who lived in a tree
Loved syrup much better than golden jewelry.
He buried his treasure chest out in the glade
Filled with jugs of the syrup that's called Vermont Maid
So learn well this lesson from my serenade:
There's no finer syrup than sweet Vermont Maid
It's naturally flavored with the very best grade
Of real maple sugar -- that's my Vermont Maid.
