Janakos. Similar parodies of the Geoff Mack song "Ive Been
Everywhere" have traveled through so many hands, including a
motorcycle club, that it has generated a myth of its own. For college
teachers, Bill Woolum originated the idea although he thought it was
a Hank Snow song. He wrote up a parody of the song without the skit.
The idea made its way to Los Angeles, where various Rabble-A Players
tinkered with it and transformed it into a new piece. Tinkerers of
the song include Lantz Simpson, Doren Robbins, and Fred Sigmund, all
of who thought it was a Johnny Cash song. The skit idea and new version
was originated written by Linda Janakos, who discovered it was a Geoff
Mack song.The skit is included in a forthcoming documentary called
I Love to Teach, and is featured in a forthcoming DVD of the same
name. The DVD should be ready for CEW.©Linda Janakos. This skit
