Gary Hines copy more complete opening - Shep mentions waking up in the morning and it will be 1964. Makes this show Dec 31, 1963. But there already is a 12-31-1963 show! And the copy from Rudy is dated 1964 and he was pretty reliable with dating. Need to dig deeper

Waking up to 1964

"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
