Herbert Arthur "Herb" Shriner (1918-1970) was an American humorist, radio personality and television host. He learned to play harmonica in grade school and continued to play throughout adulthood. In between playing harmonica, Shriner told stories about a fictional Hoosier hometown. This became his performance style throughout his radio and television appearances.
