Show Description

[ Courtesy: Lowell Thelin - None ]   
  Notes large volume of listener requests over past year to read the Red Ryder BB Gun story (4 or 5 hundred)

Story background relating two men in an Indiana bar at Christmastime who had known each other since childhood but had taken separate paths - one had remained in Indiana as a bartender while the other had since become an effete New Yorker ("Do you remember that particular Christmas?"...)

Notes background music of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky as being identified with Christmas

Notes that the the Red Ryder story had originally appeared in Playboy magazine �a few years back, and later in In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash

Reading of "DUEL IN THE SNOW or RED RYDER NAILS THE CLEVELAND STREET KID".

"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
