The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area.

Longtime radio personality and The Big Broadcast host Ed Walker passed away early on Oct. 26 at age 83. We invite you to leave your thoughts and remembrances.

Happy Sunday all.

It looks like a really nice Christmas lineup with lots of variety...never head of The Eternal Light or Rocky Fortune...and ending perfectly with Lux and Miracle on 34th Street. I'm starting to feel Christmas.

How's it going?

Hi, Vision! Am I imagining things, or did we miss you last week?

How’s it going?

[Vision]

Hey Gina, all is good. We got 4” of snow yesterday. Army beat Navy in dramatic fashion. This is the last week of work this year. Just got a new supercool ecobee thermostat. How about you?

Yea, I was running and didn't have time to post last week's thread. Didn't think it would be missed much. ):

[WXRGina]

Cool! You lucky duck, getting to take such a long vacation! :-) Yeah, I saw a little of the Army-Navy game on the computer, and boy, was it snowing! Felt sorry for Navy.

I turn 50 tomorrow. I can’t believe it.

[Vision]

Congratulations. In age I think everything has been pushed back 10 years due to health, wealth, whatever. 50 is the new 40. 60 is the new 50.

Happy Birthday!

[Vision]

How are you feeling about it?

[WXRGina]

Thanks, Vision! I’m thankful for each birthday, but I wish youth weren’t so fleeting. :-/ Yes, I feel young and good, but my body isn’t its nicer 35-year-old appearance anymore.

[WXRGina]

Frank Sinatra is Rocky Fortune. :-)

[Vision]

Nice!

It's a fund raising show, it's a shame I'm rooting for SJW to fail.

[WXRGina]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Wouldn’t it be SO excellent if they suddenly began running the archive of Ed Walker doing the show?! What a dream this is. <3

[Vision]

Can’t be sure, but SJW and team seem desperate about donations.

[WXRGina]

As it should be.
