Brown Bros. Auction is selling a group of books from Shep's 2nd wife, Joan Warner. There are some books signed by Jean and Shel Silverstein. The auction is December 1, 2018 in Buckingham, Pa.
After a lot of research and listening to scratchy records, I feel that I have found a lot of the 'unknown' music Shep used in the 1963 and later years. It is an album put out by the Waldorf Record Corp in Harrison, NJ called "50 Great Moments in Music." I have identified 9 tracks he used on his shows and as I listen to more shows that number may increase. Shep would have qickly noted that although the album is 50 Great Moments. . ., there are 51 tracks!
