Anyone remember the custom versions of this song that he did for different
makets?  Somewhere I have a tape of him doing a concert for "World Hunger
Year" and adding the line "I am the morning DJ at WVBF, playing all the hits
for you and whatever else is left" or something like that...

I vaguely recall a version for WRKO.
