Jean Shepherd appears on Larry King Live

Bahn Frei was Shep's theme music and he spoke about the theme's origin on the Larry King show of March 9, 1983. Here's some of what he said on the show:
"I was doing a TV show in Cincinnati sponsored by the Bayhorse Ale company. They wanted something in the titles involving horses so we came up with the idea of a group of horses in silhouette running along to the Bahn Frei theme with a small silhouette of me running along trying to catch up." The show was the original version of "Rear Bumpers" on WLW-TV
Shep also mentioned that in the famous film clip documentary "When Comedy Was King" (c1960) producer Robert Youngson chose Shep's theme for the background music to a clip of Buster Keaton in "Cops" because he felt that Shepherd had the same dry wit as the old-stone-face.
