Maybe you watched a little “Christmas Story” on TBS. (Very funny.) Maybe you know Jean Shepherd is the guy who narrates it. The movie was based material from his books “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash” and “Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories.” (And the director was the guy behind “Porky’s,” but that’s not why I brought you here.) I used to catch Shepherd on the radio in the 70’s out of New York City. His first big success came with a nightly show on WOR. He was probably best experienced on radio, but he also did concert appearances to big crowds. Wanna know what “Voice Of Ralphie As An Adult” looks like? This not-so-great-quality YouTube clip comes from the late 70’s. Maybe the video tape is “fra-gi-le.” BTW: Shepherd also cameos in “A Christmas Story” as the irate man in the line for Santa. Here’s another clip, the movie’s trailer from 1983. Merry Christmas! Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra!
