I have a delightful biography to share!

So, if I can describe this man, it's basically the longevity and elegance of Vin Scully (1949 to 2001, then afterwards continuing part-time), with the unfiltered enthusiasm and malapropisms of San Diego's former broadcaster Jerry Coleman :D

This is motor racing's lovable hybrid version of Scully/Coleman, Murray Walker, who has been "The Ultimate Enthusiast" in racing broadcasting since the 1950s :smile:
No question, my idol and apparently a delightful man! He turns 96 years old this coming October.

Here was him, in his BBC biography, called "Life In The Fast Lane", aged 87, in 2011!

Thanks for sharing, Reg! There's something about those legendary voices that we grow-up with - there's a flow of emotions that are hard to describe!
