Show Description

Warning - there are certain elements in the next 45 minutes which are of questionable taste. In a jovial mood, Shep sings "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" stating he is kneedeep in the rubble of old Christmas parties. Debating how to go straight in 1973 - maybe he will stop picking on New Jersey. National Blues and Boodle Am - salute to girls we loved and passion itself. Who knows what 1973 will bring. Who knows who will will be meeting. What if you knew on a certain day that you were going to meet a terrific girl on an elevator. Would you get on the elevator that day? Shep receives a Christmas gift from friends of a pornographic radiator ornament made of German silver. What do you do with it? You can't drive around New York with it and you can't hurt their feelings by not using it. Shep talks about radiator ornaments and how they are coming back really big. People have great collections of ornaments. He refers to a New York Time article obout the comeback. He describes the different ornaments which adorned the older cars such as the Model A, and those found on Pontiacs. He once saw a chauffeured Cadillac with the Howard Johnson "Pie Man" as an ornament. The license plates were "HJ". He talks about how you can get ornaments based on your occupation.
