Show Description

Trick or treat! Come across or I don't do a show! Come across or I'm going to play excerpts form John Gambling shows of the past. Riding the F train - Shep is riding the train when it stops at 18th street and a man gets on and sits down. Eventually he gets up, takes out a can of orange spray paint, writes "Superman" on the door and gets off at the 23rd street station. Putting a pin in the doorbell, hanging a pin by a string on the outside of a window so it keeps taping in the breeze. Going to a Halloween party Darkness - All of man is afraid of the dark. Hunters in the darkness.Shep does a haunting commentary with spooky music about the evils of blackness.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
