I listened to Shep back in the 60s on WOR-AM, New York. Even had a letter written by me and two buddies read by him over the air.
The Great Orpheum Gravy Boat Riot was hilarious beyond words. One of the great spoken word story tellers.

Happy to say I saw this when it was first in the theaters - which not many people did. Only after repeated showings on TV did it become well known and a christmas classic.

Ha! I remember getting that Daisy BB gun as a kid.
First thing I did was take it outside, and shoot at a tractor tire...and the ricochet hit me on the cheek, right under the eye.
Of course that was back in the day before we had heard of safety glasses. Today, the line goes: "Wear your safety glasses, so you don't shoot your eye out.!"
