Welcome to the forum !!
I am your fathers' age, and honestly I believe he will like and be able to relate to anything Shep spoke of.
I personally suggest the single program in which he discusses "Trip to the chaplain" and Emdes' folly. (Punch either into the search engine on the archives and I believe it is from 1965-66..)

Thanks,
With Shep doing 1 show a day for 22 years, I've got my work cut out for me!

That was a pretty good show thanks ;-) I've been soaking up as much material as I can, but wow there was a whole lot of it, one thing that was interesting though was in the interview with Larry King he says he quit radio (partly) because he wanted to look at media that would make his material 'last' longer than being burned up in an hour on air. Which is neat, since it's still here, as i guess he wished.
Man, to have worked him as K2ORS would have been something, really rare to hear someone like that on the ham bands |

My personal opinion is that Shep did not really expect his radio works would be preserved, or fondly recalled as much as has been the case. (Who of us would not treasure a "find" of 100 hitherto "lost" programs ?)
Too, I believe he felt he wasted his time on the radio and that his audience (on radio) was much more limited (media-wise) than the visual image response he might get.
Even now, only time will tell.

I use to love just reading Shep never could get his radio show here in Boston. |

To murdock: From what I understand, Shep's programs were broadcast in Boston at various times through WHDH, WNAC & in the '70s, WGBH radio. To be honest, I was merely a tadpole in those days, but I have heard a Limelight show that was taped from the Boston area (WNAC) & my friend from college told me that she listened to Shep on 'GBH in college. |

My luck, I just never knew[8D] I did get to see Shep live at Symphony Hall in Boston. I belive WGBH (PBS) put it on. Among other things I remember he did his skit on being placed in back of class due to last name Shepeherd and alphabetical seating. I think only the people that truly knew Shep were there because although there was a good crowd it was far from SRO. If you made a donation to station they offered a small party after back stage with Shep. I think that was cut short or maybe even canceled because his show ran so long. They had to literaly pull him off stage. Was a great show so glad I went. |

Well, I did get to see Brian Wilson at Symphony Hall. Anyway, for the past month I've been listening to Shep's shows from December 1965 via MP3, thanks to this wonderful site. It's a very interesting experience. I almost found myself looking for the Spy Who Came In From the Cold in my local multiplex schedule and considered looking for a Rover 2000 (I need a new car). Speaking of the Rover 2000, I remembered that my brother-in-law actually owned one at the time he married my sister. I asked him for his experience w/it at Christmas dinner. He said that it was a very comfortable car to wait in for the tow truck arrived (Shep LOL). He said the main problem was the electrical system, which seem to be the classic failing of British cars. In closing I hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas and didn't get their eyes poked out and I wish all of my fellow victims a Happy New Year and keep those knees loose (execept for Johnny Damon[V]) |

My old next door neighbor use to play for Patriots and had a Rover SUV was a sharp looking ride kind of a cocoa color. Speaking of car colors I'll never forget Sheps description of the color of his Dads car..."goat vomit green" [:p]Hope what happened to Sampson when he cut his hair happens to Damon[}:)] Have a great New Years everyone |

A Fellow Red Sox victim! Speaking of car colors, I think Chrysler had the most unique colors, especially in the late 60's-early 70's muscle car era. There were colors called Tor-red, Sassy Lime Green & (I Am Curous) Yellow. They also had a shade of purple which looked like grape juice. You still can see these colors in Neons & their mini vans, especially the ones where the paint hasn't fallen off yet(Shep LOL).In 1969, Plymouth even offered an option called a Mod Top, which was a vinyl top covered with daisies.
