They have put up some great archives at CBC of Peter Gzowski. Well worth the listen. He was so great 8) He made everything interesting from a tomato to a crow. Its not the same without him, although I love grandma suzy 8)

RE: Peter Gzowski: Voice

I was listening to CBC this morning and wishing that Gzowski was still there. Thanks for the link, Pea.

He had that voice that kept you listening, and he truly was (or seemed to be) interested in everything from growing tomatoes to world events.

"He had that voice that kept you listening,"

That's for sure.

The great tomato crisis :lol: From that show I became fond of fresh tomato sandwiches and black licorice. He truly had a way of drawing everyone in, and he loved canada. Give me a snapshot of your favorite place? Take me to a place on the prairies. He was delightful 8)

One of my favourite "Peter moments":

He was interviewing (by phone) a grizzled old rancher from the BC Interior about ranching and cows, etc. At one point, he asked the old rancher; "Tell me something - Are cows really as stupid as people think they are?'

The rancher paused a moment, then replied: "Well, I'll tell ya something, Peter.... they're at least smart enough not to raise cattle for a living!"

I though Peter was going to wet his chair.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
