Show Description
This is a very unofficial show. We are breaking in a new engineer tonight - and that's worse than breaking in a new pair of shoes. This is absolutly the worst piece of music ever written by the foul minded man! (Theme) Shep lights his pipe. Kazoo playing 56 year old Chicago judge saves a woman. Backyard basketball Old cars in backyards - Uncle Carls had an Essex with mushrooms growing out of it. Looking for parts in used car lots and installing a new speedometer.
