Show Description
Concept of 'completion' After all the commercials he tries to determine if there's enough time left for a story. Kit building - Harpsichord Rocking chair Color TV - A friend puts together a TV but it doesn't work - 6 months later he gets letter in mail explaining a mistake in the directions. He follows them and gets a 30,000 volt jolt. The TV is now a planter.
[ Courtesy: David Goldin - 05-17-2024 ] The recording begins with a WOR editorial read by Herb Salton. Shepherd discusses the belief that everything is controllable. The program is almost continuous commercials. A friend builds a harpsichord from a kit. Another builds a TV kit with a mistake in the instruction book. Why did he start it?
