GE 1997-8 Season 4 Episode 29: What's That Noise?
Note: this is not a transcript, but a working draft of the script, so there may be differences in the aired version.
PAUL: Stop, hey, what's that sound, every
knows what's going down ...
And what's going down is the What's That Noise From
Newfoundland contest, the most popular game show not
currently on television !
Ah, how I long for the brain-stem rattling evocation
of aural delights ! Hollis Duffett, custodian of our
sound, refresh our lobes!
SFX: THE NOISE
So, without further ado, let's roust out this week's entry.
It comes to us from ... Burlington, Ontario, and it is sent
in by Peter and Anna Gallant, and they write: "We think we
know the source of that sound from Newfoundland. It sounds
like a crane being used at a wharf; possibly loading or
unloading container ships. Really enjoy your show!" Thank
you vee much for being so kind.
But unfortunately, Peter and Anna Gallant of Ontario,
no tee-shirt for you, the sound is not a crane.
Despair ye not, ye listeners of inquiry, here comes a hint.
Get your pen and paper ready, I'll give you our mailing addresses
right after Hollis Duffett gives you our noise.

From what appears to be an unlikely mix of Newfoundland music
and the Paraguayan harp, Gayle Tapper has created a haunting
and attractive blend on her new cd "Here The Tides Flow."
From that disc, here's "Show-gwee Bird."
