Voices

I have to belive that someone is reading this,other wise what's the point,and if you are I have a question.Is there a voice that curls your toe's,sends a shiver up your back.Joyce once said that she could listen to Roger Livesey reading the telephone book,is there a voice  that does the same for you.
John Arlott's was the voice of summer for me,but it never curled my toes.Joan Greenwood's did,from the very first time I heard it to the last.Hers was a voice I could feel as well as hear.Alistair Cooke's was another,when I read his Letter's from America its his voice I hear.Without trying Carl Sagan,Katherine Hepburn and Gore Vidal come to mind,and of course Joyce,who's voice inhabits my dreams.
