Show Description

Shep has fun recreating an old '30s show from WOR using a 1923 double button Western Electric carbon microphone. The music he plays is from old transcriptions. He plays an air check from when WOR turned on the new 50,000 watt transmitter. It is broadcast from Carnegie Hall where the Star Spangled Banner was sung.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
