The Sonic Society

I tell people if there’s one thing they should know about what fashioned my love of radio it always was the CBC.
The CBC kept this farmboy busy in the trips into town, playing constantly in the house.
I was amazed at the radio dramas.
Astounded at Lister Sinclair’s “Ideas”
and cracked up constantly by “The Frantics” and “The Vestibules” and even “The Royal Canadian Air Farce” (who were always better on radio)
So many personalities were family for me growing up, and my Uncle used to say where ever he traveled all across Canada he still was “home” when he turned on the CBC and heard Peter Gzowski’s “Morningside” played all across the Country.

Happy Birthday CBC
