Jean Shepherd - Don't Be a Leaf

 In Don't be a Leaf, Jean Shepherd muses on the impact of dirty glasses, shopping for cars with the old man, flyswatters, growing up with the White Sox and the great divide between Southside and Northside baseball fans. Shepherd asks the questions; are you the rider or the ridden? A leaf or a tree? What is the Master Plan Illusion and what is your Master Plan? So friends, sit back and enjoy this collection. Keep smiling, keep your knees loose, and don't give them a sitting target!

The radio programs in this collection, long lost and forgotten, were created in the mid 1960's by Shepherd for radio and television syndicator Hartwest Productions in the format heard on Shepherd's WOR shows of the day, right down to his familiar Bahn Frei theme music.
