Jean Shepherd - The Bugatti

Shep starts the show with big-time Jews harp playing
Starts at: 1:00
Jean talks about the forms of art that we, humanity has created and how they will be viewed in the future. We hear about a new form of art in the 20th century: a car! Specifically, a Type 57sc Bugatti
Starts at: 4:18
The car used to be an art form, not a utilitarian item. Jean tells us that everything was part of one's outfit: the car, the wardrobe, the jewelry. Shep talks about Mr. Bugatti and how he selected people to buy his cars

When i knew Shep from laye '60s, early '70s i couldn't stand his jewsharp playing. Today, i can't get enough of it. I find it beyond humorous and funny. Like he said, i vibrate (resonate) with it, a whole new level.

Ah, 1:29 AM and I found this 1 hour after posting. Thanks, DG. I just came back from a retirement dinner for a co-worker, and im all jazzed-up and can't sleep, partially because I am contemplating when I, too will retire. I am of age, but not "of mind" or "of-financial ability" to retire yet😢. Let's see if Shep's talk of a Bugatti will help me meet the sandman.😅

I'm sure it helped!

@rudolphguarnacci197 - Yes, indeed, it helped. I worry that the less than 30 minute posts might be too short to get me to sleep, but I crossed my fingers for luck, and sure enough, I did not remember hearing the end of the vid. Then my sweet dog woke me up at 5 am to come into the bed, so I replayed, and slept till six am👌
