For all you fatheads out there. The quality (and sync) is better and the clip is a bit longer.

Excelsior!!

I'm a kid see, and its nine o clock. I get into bed, turn the radio to WOR, its as low as it can go and still be heard and my ear is right next to the tiny speaker. Then those first notes come on of that Edwuard Strauss march, and I knew that all was right with the world.

@optikdave I was there a few times in Clinton. You had to be early to park and seat front row. Shep said he could electrocute everyone front row in aluminum chairs...this referred to b'cast about how he used pops beer glasses for electrolyctic rectifiers that leaked KEY DOWN and burned through carpet to floor. What few know is the number of kidz..no lidz...that engaged a career in electronics because of him. I graduated from RCA institutes in 1974. WB2SGT

@RossM3838 Mom got me into Shep and Long John...evil mom..evil mom who worked for AT&T Long Lines. I had those Japanese SW radios and got a pillow speaker. Oh those evil thoughts like burying fruit in a jar on the beach. Long John wasn't no better..he broadcast that there was a secret underground civilisation you could visit by punching elevator buttons in a sequence. At twelve I got a National NC-33 radio and branded by someone in Post Office for QSL'ing b'cast stations as a spy. WB2SGT
