The inspiring voice of Nog
I heard a wonderful voice from the past today on Desert Island Discs - Oliver Postgate, the animator and voice behind Bagpuss and Noggin the Nog. Another example of how, for me, it's sound and not smell that really activate my memory. Bagpuss seems to be what he's most remembered for, but I was SUCH a fan of Noggin the Nog - check out this site for more about him and his world. Partly I suppose it was the flavour of viking sagas and mythology that it conveyed, coupled with his amazing voice - that combination just made for perfect storytelling. His is a voice of gentle peace and wisdom. In fact I've just realised that when I do a visualisation or something with a client, it's his voice that I unconsciously emulate. Wow.
