about

As mentioned in iWitness, I grew up wanting to be a newscaster.

This prelude to the outro allows me to live out those dreams.

lyrics

["Hello Baltimore (Baltimore Supplier Mix)" introduction with booming voiceover]

[Intro: Voiceover]
From up da hill, down da hill, and EVERYWHERE in between...this is WSOTBof Baltimore Street, This is WSOTB!!! News 17...at 7 with your host, John Speed

[Speech: John Speed]
Good Morning, I'm John Speed. If you are hearing my voice, the world hasn't ended and we've reached the conclusion of Speed on the Beat!!!'s Baltimore Commercial Break project. We at WSOTB!!! have just received some breaking news regarding SOTB!!!'s condition. For that, we go to Edward Turner, live at the news desk.

[Speech: Edward Turner]
Hi, John! It appears that SOTB!!! has finished working on his From Juke Joints to Greatness project. He's informed me that, come hell or high water, it is his last as SOTB!!!.

Whether or not that proves to be 100% accurate remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain.

Ish is about to get real.

[Verse One: Speed on the Beat, a la HAL singing "Daisy Bell"]
It makes no difference where I go...
You're the best hometown I know...
Hello Baltimore...
SOTB!!! loves you...

[Reprise of news theme, in the style of a music box]
