Show Description
"There is a motion picture based on old Shep" Shep sings "Is it true what they say about Dixie" KOS Radio "This radio station salutes all the true believers: - Think in terms of cliches - Is life a gigantic multiple choice game? - Dear friend - the meaning has changed - Did you ever feel that you're jinxed? Stepping on cracks on sidewalk Shep relates story when he stepped on a crack as a kid and worried about his mother. Says that the step on a crack and break your mother's back jinx goes on to say 'and you'll have bad luck forever' Shep gets a lifetime subscription to a magazine and recently got a notice that it is being cancelled. Shot putting in high school.
