Brief audio introduction to Jean Shepherd's career on WOR-AM in NYC and particularly his versions go "A Christmas Carol" - Scrooge, Barly, and Tiny Jim.\nThis is a very funny story and he talks about other things that are interesting and creative. He did a lot of "Improvisation." He was extremely talented and was on WOR-AM for 22 years... most if not all of it, a midnight show! He had a huge audience. The film he is most famous for is "A Christmas Story" - remember Ralphie? He wanted a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. That film has become a Christmas Classic. This track will live in the "Christmas" Playlist.
