Thought this was a great article about Booby -- you may want to share it with the group. I just had dinner with Alan Sneed and spoke on the phone with Mick Rizzo -- we were all saying how much fun it is to read your blog -- thanks so much for keeping this going. What a treat to hear about Jimmy Vineyard -- one of the really nice guys. Keep up the good work.

42 years and counting for Bobby Denton-Vols PA Announcer By Kevin Kelleher

It is fair to say that by using his God-given talent, Bobby Denton has added to the great traditions surrounding University of Tennessee football. He brings his ‘old school’ style of announcing to a high tech control booth. (Chip Emerson)


I’d like to know if you could recall something. As a kid growing up in Fort Wayne, Indiana in the 1970’s, my sister and I would listen to our portable radio/record player that would pick up stations from all over late at night, and we used to listen to a station that we think was out of Knoxville. The first hour we would hear country gospel, like the Chuck Wagon Gang. The second hour it would be a country show with a theme song of Buck Owens’ “Tiger by the Tail.” I think the host was named Ernie. We would fall asleep listening to this show. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! (Peggy McDaniel)
