Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt

Another excellent mix of NNS’s are in store for you today.

These come from the March 12^th & 13^th, 1994. Then we visit May 11^th, 1994 and then we get quite a surprise at the end as, like a bolt out of the blue, in comes December 25^th 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 – 1^st 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.
