Some guy wrote to me and says "Hey Shepherd". . .

Show Description

Shep gets a letter asking why he doesn't talk about romantic love. I learned about love very early in the arena "The Great accordian band fiasco" - vetoed by Ed "The Great Shrewsbury Shoe Mystery" When Shep was in the Army at Ft Monmouth he had issues getting his shoes fixed on base and went to the Shrewsbury shoe repair, but each time he tried to get them the place was closed. And eventually he got shipped out without eveer getting his shoes back. He overrides Ed's veto and tells the story of "The Great accordian band fiasco"

"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
