Your Humble Host today will be playing another of my very own Jean Shepherd tapes I recorded in the '70's. And bonus it just happens to be a Christmas Jean Shepherd show originally heard December 6, 1974 but I recorded it from an FM radio source on March 17, 1975. It's the Library of Sound (LOS) Volume 383 as we'll hear Shep talk about his precious gift while in the army, a 5 foot salami!! It was a perfect gift if you're in the army and the boys around all love a good chunk of tasty salami. Mmm, I'm getting in the mood for some myself. Drat, none in the house, put that on my shopping list. Enjoy this Christmas present from your Humble Host's very own Shepherd Vault.

From Sounds Like Radio's Library of Sound come Volume 67, a Bing Crosby short show originally broadcast December 13, 1954.  In this show you'll hear Bing talk about the Christmas time happening at the Della Robbia Boys Republic.  Della Robbia wreaths are produced through a work experience program that teaches kids the true value of honest labor. A lesson many an adult today could learn.  Listen as Bing sings some songs and talks about the wreaths at Della Robbia.   An early Bing Christmas present here from Your Humble Host.   Enjoy this
