sends a shiver to think that recordings as important as the Hammons' are out of print.
to me, that means " if you've got it, share it".

Is everyone SURE that it's named after the River? I'm asking because there's an ancient village in PA named Sciota. Though the "big" would seem to imply a river.

The title of this song always makes me think of the "Road Runner" cartoon and it's villain...

Pronunciation? It's common in some places for names that end in 'a' to be said with 'ie'. Phoeba Parsons, e.g., is pronounced "Phoebe", and I'll bet that Berzilla Wallin was always called Berzillie. I have a friend in Carter County, TN who lives on Sciota Road, which is pronounced Sigh-oh-tha, with a light emphasis on the 'oh'.
