Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt - Ep 226 - Interesting People Telling Interesting Stories
from Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt · host Tony Nesbitt
Another excellent mix of NNS’s are in store for you today. These come from the March 12th & 13th, 1994. Then we visit May 11th, 1994 and then we get quite a surprise at the end as, like a bolt out of the blue, in comes December 25th 1993! It all flows nicely and I’ve titled it: Interesting People Telling Interesting Stories It’s right to calls! Margaret talking about having met ELEVEN presidents and that she’s writing her memoir. I did a little research, and I do believe this was Margaret Coit who was a rather prolific author and won the 1951 Pulitzer Prize for her biography on John C. Calhoun. It’s unfortunate that the whole call isn’t here. I wonder if there’s more or additional calls from her in the Vault as she’s fascinating. (She also taught at BHCC while I was a student there)! Fred from NJ – on railroad restaurant cars, roadside diners and lunch wagons A bunch of traffic reports: 3 from Jack Harte covering an overturned tanker truck And we also hear Joe Stapleton & Joe Green in his BZ Copter. A brief call from Bob talking about Moxie Joe with a tale of about American Indians digging for mussels at Carson Beach and Columbia Point! Norm introsTraffic Great call from another Bob talking cars and hat blocking…you’ll just have to wait and listen Norm Singing with the chimes Raj from MIT and the yearly tuition riots The a serious call from Marty in South Boston commenting on Louis Farrakhan Norm adeptly teases a Marezine commercial, but we don’t hear it And Charlene Norm signs off and next show begins Playing 20 Questions, I believe, with inventor Jeff Pinsker of University Games. The show is in progress so we miss the first game except for two calls: Artie And Jarod from Canton We then begin to play “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” With: Lisa in Somerville Bridget from Timmons, Ontario Bob in Fitchburg Dorothy from Randolph Louise near Kingston, Ontario Steve calling from his car in Milwaukee, WI Norm asks him a question that Steve pause mysteriously and we never get the answer, because we move on to the some regular NNS stuff Norm singing with his show open Ed – caricature artist down at Quincy Market has a story Our good friend, Kristin from Dorchester – 1st Egg of Spring contest loser – For those familiar with this annual event, do you recall what the prize was? Stay tuned! Peggy speaking about a gentleman named Walt Andrus Natalie from Northampton – talking Walt Andrus and it is that, NOT Andurs Fred in Yarmouth, ME Having just completed her breathing exercises, the one and only, Generosa! And Floyd in NC Somehow, we return to Jeff Pinsker with a Christmas Night Show from 1993. We continue with a Christmas Traffic report with Bruce Connolly Calls: Olive-Ann Herb in Peabody Joan And Emily from Needham Norm reads a cute story of a woman, Mrs. Porcaro, who retired after 33 years turning socks inside out or outside in Also reads a bit of the Entertainment Weekly Top Entertainers of the year List (1993) Ep 226, Interesting People Telling Interesting Stories, bends your ears in 3, 2 and 1.
