[ Courtesy: David Goldin - - ] Shepherd plays, "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" on the Jew's Harp. He speculates about aliens listening to radio from Earth, with "Soothing Sounds For Baby" (an LP record released using the name of Dr. Spock) playing in the background. Shep describes Phil Tonkin's voice as, "a combination of King Kong, the organ at Westminster Cathedral and wind whistling through Mammoth Cave." Shep is still waiting for his Rover. The opening theme has been partially deleted.
