Paul Harvey

There is something so wonderfully comforting about Paul Harvey's voice. It's a sound that brings back such vibrant pictures of my childhood.

He came on at noon on WHAS' am radio station in Louisville, with "The Rest of the Story" (think he still does).
My grandmother listened every day. Most of the time, it would be her and I in her kitchen, she'd be making our lunch and I'd be sitting at the table just watching and listening. My favorite would be when she would make her vegetable soup. It was the best stuff I've ever had. She'd start making it about 6 in the morning to be ready for lunch. So we would sit down, eat our soup and listen to warm sounds of Paul Harvey telling us about the unknown story of Winston Churchill or about the wonders of Citrical or Thera-Gesic on "page 2". Little was said while Paul was on. Even My grandfather, who LOVED to talk, was quiet. It was a perfect moment with me and my grandparents.

Every time I hear his voice, that moment, that feeling of comfort, safety and peace comes to mind. I find as I've gotten older I seek him out now... I try and find what radio station plays his show. It makes me feel close to a grandmother gone 8 years, makes me go back to a time when things were so blissfully simple. I wonder if you get his stuff on CD?

Feel free to have a listen:

And good day.
