"I think Roger Epperson is right about Janie Fricke doing that jingle...being from Morristown, Janie was active locally in marketing activities before making the jump to Nashville. Even then, she often came back to East Tn. It was not unusual to run into her at West Town Mall, or to have her visit the WIVK Studios. She could project seven or eight different voices vocally, and was featured as back-up on lots of records before making her own. Her back-up band was also from Morristown. Thanks for the memories, especially of ‘76. Did you know I worked for Knox County Ambulance Service for one day? When I moved to Knoxville in September of ‘76, I made the rounds of many of the stations, and even talked with one about being a copywriter. Instead I used my rescue squad experience, and EMT ranking from North Carolina to land the ambulance job. The first day I was on the job, I got a call from Bobby Denton saying they were going to make room for me in the news department, so good by ambulance, hello WIVIK! My one and only day at KCAS my partner was Rick Harrington, who now works with Lifestar." (Dan Bell)
"George...I think it was Jimmy Vineyard who broadcast races live from Smoky Mountain Raceway on WLIL back in the early '70s. I worked the board there as a teenager before moving to WORI/WOKI in 1974 and can still hear the sound of the cars roaring by in the background while Jimmy and others tried to describe the "action" on the track. Had to pay close attention, because there were few scheduled commercial breaks--mostly just time frames within the course of the races." (David Lambert)
