Fan Description

  "This radio show is a hobby with me, it is not the main part of my life." Shep indicates that performing around the country is more important to him. "New York is not a good performer's town." "I'm a club performer, not a radio guy." Shepherd talks about his career in the theatre when he first came to New York. "The stand-up comic is a lost art in America." The program is an interesting monologue about the problems of being a performer in New York City.Notes:

"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
