I don't know how many of you are old enough to remember Jean Shepherd, a
very skillfull storyteller.  He had a nightly radio show on WOR New York in
the '50s, '60s, and '70s.  (Became SK in the mid '90s).  He'd tell stories
about the dumbest things and yet have you glued to the radio the whole hour!

He also was a ham (K2ORS) and was a skilled CW operator.  (If you ever
worked a guy named Parker with that call, that was him--  he used his middle
name on the ham bands.)

I think you'll enjoy this recording of one of his shows:

9.5 Megs, a lengthy download if you're on dialup, but worth it!
