The Shepard

Post by plhought »

Annual repeat of this post....

Remember to listen to As It Happens tommorow. I'm not even going to give you a link - force you to listen to it on the radio like old' timey' :)

Merry Xmas All!

I'll always recall listening to the episode while flying a load of teachers from YSF to YPA about 30 years ago on Christmas eve and listening to the The Shepherd on the ADF. The flight concluded with an instrument approach to touchdown in sync with the narration.

Although there would be lots of fun involved in looking for a link, or tuning across the AM radio dial to find a CBC frequency, here you go with links .... two of them.

I like this one best because of the graphics.

This one is an alternate.

Merry Christmas to all in the aviation industry.

Wikipedia gives a list of all of the CBC AM radio freqs in the country here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_C ... _in_Canada
Guaranteed to get any CBC hater foaming at the mouth, but any AM radio guy salivating! :lol:

Merry Christmas, Single!

Merry Christmas North Shore.

I monitor the CBC, I don't listen to them.

SSH, a belated "Thank You" to you and The Old Fogducker for posting these links for all these years. Long time lurker here and I have enjoyed this tradition immensely. Never fail to get a chill each year. Merry Christmas to all.

Glad you enjoy that fabulous production Highlander 46.

I'm sure the name and memory of "The Old Fogducker" would appreciate being temporarily revived from the halls of the banished after having miffed one of the moderators. From time to time I hear from "Foggy" and I'll be certain to pass along the positive mention.

A long time ago, he did send me his signature avatar photo, so I'll post it in memory of that regular contributor from the past.

Some of us are still in touch with OFD. You'll be glad to hear he hasn't changed his attitude, and shares it regularly elsewhere.

As I have every year on Christmas eve, I listened to The Shepherd. It never fails to choke me up.
