Olivia Newton-John – Take me home Country Roads
An evening pause: I can never get enough of this John Denver song, a fact that anyone who has every spent any time in West Virginia will understand completely. This beautiful performance by Olivia Newton-John was performed live in 1972.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

You could acknowledge Bill and Taffy Danoff in the writing of this song as well. They are overlooked sometimes I believe.
BlogDog: You are absolutely right that Bill and Taffy Danoff deserve the credit for writing this song, with John Denver’s help, and are too much overlooked.
“They are overlooked sometimes I believe.”
Well said, i never heard of them and thought Denver wrote the song!
