And now we present John B. Gambling the Third. . .
Show Description
Being April Fool's Day, Shep tells about the time when he was a kid in school and he gets a note in class from Patty Ramaley (sp.?). In the note she says she is madly in love with him.
Shep rushes home excited, deciding not to sell seeds for school that day. He heads to Patty's house and knocks on her door. Her mother answers the door and asks Shep what he wants. He tells her to tell Patty he is here. Patty tells her mother from the next room that they don't need any seeds. Shep is confused and Patty seems to know nothing asking what he wants. He fakes it and asks about the math homework and then leaves.
As he leaves the house, he hears giggling coming from under Patty's porch. Schwartz yells out April fools!

This was repeated on 4-1-77 as the last WOR broadcast by Shep, ending over 20 years on the station. The theme with John Gambling chatter and the first few minutes were cut and replaced by a 'clean' theme. Later a commercial was cut and replaced by a segment of Shep calling for his salute musice and Coney Island Washboard Rondolet being played.
[Gene B]
Near the end of the tape, Shep comments about the kid trick. (And, coincidentally/ironically, about what WOR had done to him):
"Humiliated before the entire world.
They heard! I couldn’t figure out why they did it to me.
Why did they do this to me?" Comments: 0
