Dick van Dyke and Julie Andrews – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
An evening pause: With high hopes for the new year.
Hat tip Edward Thelen, who I thank for trying to offer me videos from a source other than youtube. Unfortunately, by the time this appeared, it was gone at that source and I had to rely on youtube.
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
Thank YOU Edward Thelen! For reminding us of this wonderful movie!
Happy New Year to Mr Z and everyone here.
While the US might not be given favorable treatment by much of the domestic pop entertainment world, check out the song/group featured on last night’s Japanese New Years celebration show (though on the New Years show the band was dressed in suits/tuxedos).

Is this the Ed Thelen of the Nike Missile Site ?

which is worth visiting (it’s been several years and I need to see what’s new)
The website might have taken the video down because of his name, it’s banned on some sites due to PC.
Charles R Chapman: No, I would be amazed if it was removed because of PC. This alternative to youtube was specifically formed to combat political correctness and the effort by youtube to silence conservatives.

–it’s a copyright issue.

20 seconds for example, would fall under “fair use,” but stealing the whole song is a no no.
Disney owns the rights to the 1964 movie (including the music) but not the name or image of Mary Poppins.
Col Beausabre asked: “Is this the Ed Thelen of the Nike Missile Site ?”
No.
