If you've ever been to Bald Knob, Arkansas, you know what a small town it is, right? But I'll tell you what -- this little town GETS AROUND. I was at Sea World in San Diego, California, once. Near the "needle" ride, they had a map of the USA painted on the pavement, with just one or two towns included in each state. Wellsir -- the town they had for Arkansas was BALD KNOB. (And, by the way, the town they had for Alabama was FAIRHOPE -- another small town!) Seriously, now. I have lived in both of those towns. I took pictures of that map, because I knew nobody would ever believe me if I didn't have proof.
Well now.... guess what -- I just found out there is actually a SONG about Bald Knob, Arkansas!
Here it is --
(The Louvin Brothers wrote the song, as far as I can determine.)
(But wait, there's more! You wouldn't believe how many videos of this song are on YouTube.)

Oh, wait -- yes I do...
