  1. Great stuff, Bill.

    What the heck was Shep 'sending' with? A kazoo? HA!

    Russell Waters' character in The Key was "Sparks". His popularity on IMDB has jumped by 62% in the past week. Makes me wonder if SolderSmoke Blog had something to do with it!

  2. Shep was a treasure! I used to listen to him every night on WOR in New York. I actually remember listening to his show when he chatted about the "Lake Erie Swing." That's how I found this page, looking for links about the LES!
