I know that after working a 9AM-9PM day dealing w/humanity or its cheap, shoddy substitute, it's great to listen to Shep like a old friend after a long & nutty day. Him & Ernie Kovacs were walking MAD Magazines & A Christmas Story was only a small tip of his talent & genius compared to those WOR shows.diskojoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768344411314442676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910067.post-80261209218951997462011-09-30T10:21:25.349-04:002011-09-30T10:21:25.349-04:00Also, Jean Shepard did a piece with Charles Mingus...Also, Jean Shepard did a piece with Charles Mingus: "The Clown."
