Last week on "Sparky Pickles" ... :

Sparky was left at the altar by Marietta Maraschino, who had left Mr. Pickles to elope with no other than Jose "Pepe" Roncini, infamous Mafia boss & the one responsible for Sparky'

s limp. Sparky, the abandoned groom, called Don Pepe in Sicily. Marietta was on his honeymoon on Mt Etna with just released Mr Pickles! "Boss, I dunno what to do. My heart's a squa

ker's fan." That's when this Italian melodrama turned into a Sqwuaker's season finale. Sparky the Italian said had just returned from the pet store with

"something special" for Squawkers. Poor Squawkers...such a naive little Beatles-singing parakeet. But if Sparky had to hear "Let It Be" 1 more time...AARRGH! A bowl of poisoned

chimpanzee. It was crazy, but it was worth a try to Sparky the amorous parakeet. Sparky sang "I wanna hold your hand" to the chimp, but it only flung poop at him. No love.

Bubba The Chimp was not into such music. He preferred music from obscure composers of the 20th century. Sparky only knew rock and roll. This was a huge problem at night!

But one that was eventually solved by some Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac. Especially the Then Play On album. Bubba felt that Green was extremely underappreciated and Sparky just

loved to explore the acoustic spaces Green painted with. Too many of us believed that Green was an alien sent to Earth to communicate an important message with his guitar.
