I have previously
written about the following topic, but just feel inclined to return to it
again.
My wife and I used to
listen to a radio broadcast with a decidedly Christian emphasis called “Night
Sounds” with Bill Pearce; an accomplished narrator, baritone soloist and
trombonist. At some point, the broadcast was discontinued on our local station,
or we simply got busy and quit listening. I don’t recall.
In the declining years
of Bill’s life he developed Parkinson’s Disease, and was placed in a skilled
nursing facility. But in spite of his significant limitations, he was aware of
his surroundings, and concerned that future generations have access to his
decades long radio ministry. His producer assured Bill that preparations had
been made to assure the survival of his work; something which pleased the
elderly man no end.
Ultimately, the
accomplished radio host died, but thankfully, “Night Sounds” didn’t die with
him. Thousands of his archived radio broadcasts are available at www.nightsoundsradio.org, and may be
retrieved at a moment’s notice 24/7/365.
A half hour filled with
Mr. Pearce’s commentary about Singleness or Depression or Servanthood; along
with quality Christian music.
As the opening theme
song fades, and Bill’s rich baritone voice fills the air, it is as if he is
still very much with us. He needn’t have been too concerned. His legacy is very
much intact,
… and continues to
impact generations which will come after him.
