The Jean Shepherd Show (WOR-AM)  Original Transmission Date: 12/30/1964 "The New Year's Eve Raid At The Kansas City Burlesque House" Shep laments living in the 20th century & recalls a childhood new year's eve with buddies Bruhner, Flick & Schwartz taking in a midnight matinee. Shep then recalls another ( more adult ) New Year's Eve during 1940's wartime  replete with fights, burlesque queens, wall to wall vomiting & the greatest generation! He refers to WOR engineer Skip by name a couple times during the show.  This is a slightly edited broadcast ( with improved audio ) to fit within a 30 minute time slot.
