The Music Shep's Favorite Music

"I'm Not A Disc Jockey!"

Although he had a rocky start in his career because of his refusal to play records, Shep used to play a lot of different music on his shows as an underscore to what he was saying at the time.

I am still compiling this list and trying to identify some songs -

In the meantime I would like to thank those who have helped to identify many of those previously 'unknown' pieces:
Arthur Crispo, Hawkeye Shepherd, David Litwin, Cliff Kennedy, Luke Travis, James Hendricks, Bill Haggerty, Chuck Poole, Rich Badagliacca, Tom Mongelli, and everyone else I forgot to list here.

Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
