Allan--

Big John & Sparky were broadcast even into the wilds of Appalachian Tennessee; I think it was part of the government's RADIO FREE APPALACHIA project. I don't hear the song much, but when I do, I always expect it to be followed by Big John's introduction: 'It's Saturday, and THERE'S NO SCHOOL TODAY!' Seems like yesterday.
