Flying

Around 1967 Shep took flying lessons at Princeton Airport from Bob Hall who was the trombone player for "Sons of the Whiskey Rebellion" Shep apparently was an excellent student, and he and Bob found they had a lot in common and became friends. Shep not only played a lot of the group's music on his show, but even played a lot of jew's harp
at Bob Hall's wedding reception in 1968; maybe some kazoo, too.

Shep often spoke of flying on his Shows

Shep's Plane
