I own an original Ferrari In The Bedroom [sans jacket and with broken spine I wore it out reading it] and went looking at the library for the other 2 , In God We Trust... , and Wonda Hickey.... I found these 2 and The America Of George Ade. I also found Excelsior... I learned a lot from it what a great book and to think the author and fellow Shep Fan lives near by...WOW.
I loved listening to him in my father's car , the back seat of my father's car. as a kid coming home from Grandmas House in Woodside, NY. I still can feel the interior of the car and see the lights from the streetlights on the LIE [Long Island Expressway]
You reminded me of the Flick Lives thing. I thought I was the only listener and when they said in Grammer School [a Catholic School at that] that someone wrote Flick Lives on the bathroom walls I thought i was in for it. I didn't do it but I thought i was the only listner, I was a bti disappointed to find I wasn't the ony one but happy for not getting in trouble.
One of my favorite stories was the pre-fab house one. Jim C said it was from Phantom Of The Open Hearth but I could swear it was from his night show. Amazing how so long after listening I still can hear his voice in my head. Sound is a magical thing it can briong back feelings so long ago. My mother listened at my house and her eyes glowed as she heard that unique voice.
THANKS FOR A GREAT BOOK or should I say a time machine for me to relive his life and learn about the man. |
