My Grandfather lived on Cleveland Street when I was a kid. Down the street, an older man named Flick was his friend. Last I saw Flick was at my Grandpa's funeral. December '84 my Granpa was early 70's, Flick seemed much older. I have cousins who attended Harding Elementry.

I’m trying to find out what the blues song was that Shep played many times - it was a early Black blues song that had something in it’s lyrics about a “peach tree” Any help, please contact me at rah@itstheemis.com. Thanks.

Surely I am not the only one who remembers Shep writing for Mad Magazine back in the late fifties or early sixties? Before he was finally on the radio in Boston, I was a nightly devotee, being able to pick him up on WOR at night because many of the local stations near the same frequency signed off early in those days. I was hooked (then again those were days when people actually listened to the radio at night, especially students).
After his short stories in Playboy and then the books later in the sixties, I got a lot of my friends listening to him. Later, I introduced my kids when they were old enough to appreciate him.
I was actually living in Cleveland when Christmas Story was being filmed and I saw him at Higbee's one day.
I miss him and still talk about him often. Of course I watch Christmas Story at least two or three times every Christmas. Even my wife has grudginly leaarned to appreciate Shep. i plan to introduce him to my grandchildren when they get just a bit older.
