I've been waiting to hear some talk about the great late Ken Meyer show on 
WBOS!

He spun classic comedy albums from his house (in Brookline?) Sunday night 
from midnight to 2, and read his own ads for late-night restaurants like 
Ken's Pub in Central Square and Ken's After Hours, the Aku-Aku (free 
delivery within a five-mile radius of Kenmore Square), and Charley's Eating 
and Drinking Saloon, "thoroughly and totally opposite the Pru".   

As a kid up in New Hampshire I had no idea where most of those places were, 
but that show was the best thing since Jean Shepherd fell off the air.  
And, man, wouldn't I love to hear those tapes again.   Do they exist?  Why 
isn't Shep in some Broadcasting Hall of Fame yet?

Anybody remember those great ensemble albums like: "Scream on someone you 
love today" and "You don't have to be Jewish"?
