PAUL:	Feels great being back on my 
side of the studio glass.

The highlight of the week for 
many folks, the moment that 
makes all other moments worth 
the bother, it’s time for the 
“What’s That Noise From Nfld!” 
contest.

We play the noise of something 
going on in our island home, 
you try to guess what it is, 
and if you’re right, we send 
you a souvenir of the BCN or 
The Great Eastern, a pocket 
protector, or a ruler or a 
fridge magnet, something that 
serves as a reminder to you to 
keep your set tuned to 520 on 
the Long Wave.
 
So, Hollis Duffitt, enough 
preamble, time for our 
customary sonic boom !

Think you can get the right 
button ?  Little joke, go 
ahead.

SFX:	THAT NOISE

There it is !

Let’s head south to the 
mailbag on the floor and see 
what it is that you think that 
sound might actually be.

And here’s an e-mail ... ah 
yes, this brings up an 
important point.  We do accept 
e-mail entries to our contest 
even though we only give our 
street address at the end of 
the contest. I’ll give you 
both in a minute.

But first, this e-mail comes 
to us from Sooke, British 
Colombia, and it’s from Kim 
and Norm Collins.  They write:

“Hi from Sooke, BC.”

Hi from St. John’s, Nfld, you 
two.

“In response to your “What’s 
that sound contest” aired on 
January 11, 1997, we think the 
sound you are looking for is a 
boat tied to a dock riding up 
on her fenders.  Great show.”

And as I said, that’s from 
Norm and Kim Collins in Sooke.

Aha !  You see Hollis ?  I’m 
not the only one.  That’s 
exactly what I thought the 
noise was.

Well, Collinses, thanks for 
your note, but the sound is 
not a boat rubbing her fenders 
against a dock, you and I are 
all wrong.
 
But keep trying !  I will.

Hollis, give us another clue.
