Comments

• This is the first hour from an episode of the 9:05pm to 1:00am shows Shep did. Since it was recorded with a 'live mike' in front of a radio, you can hear background noises from the household, and even an old propeller airplane flying overhead, adding to the nostalgia.

"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
