Show Description

This evening will be particularly irritating. . . Tonight he salutes his favorite literary elegances. . . Shep reads items from the 1974 Neiman-Marcus Christmas catalog - pgs 17 and 46

[ Courtesy: David Goldin - - ]   
  The program features the music of Tchaikovsky. A gift suggestion from Neiman-Marcus: "The Mouse N Bar M Ranch." A nickel plated brass penguin. Shep hums along with the "Capriccio Italien" (it's not much fun to listen to). Elegance is difficult to define.

"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
