Comments

• Towards the end of the show, Shep plays two pieces from the "Conquerers of the Ages" album. He describes the two in detail while they are playing, but the one he describes as Alexander the Great, is actually the Gengis Khan cut from the same album. He correctly identifies and plays 'Atilla the Hun."

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