Yes .... "Fireside Al" was one of the hands-down best readers the CBC ever had on staff.
Thank-you everyone for the positive reaction .... I'll put it up again next year .... it's one of my Christmas traditions, and I never fail to recall my having heard it the first time through the headset tuned to the ADF on a flight that started in the clear to get a load of passengers and their gifts home for Christmas, and ended in a approach to minimums in ice fog and picking up the lights in the last few seconds before making the decision to go around and head for the alternate.
Merry Christmas to all,
Foggy
