Lemon Pipers – Green Tambourine
An evening pause: From yesterday’s cutting edge graphics we go to the early days of television color special effects, taped in 1968. Hardly as convincing, but with a sense of light-hearted fun that is quite infectious.
I also wonder how much drugs were involved with the writing, recording, playing and televising of this song.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
I am still in need for evening pause suggestions. If you’ve suggested before you know the routine. If you haven’t and want submit something, say so in a comment and I will forward you the guidelines. Don’t reveal your suggestion in the comment, or I won’t be able to use it.
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

Robert asked “I also wonder how much drugs were involved with the writing, recording, playing and televising of this song.”
Well, caffeine almost certainly; likely nicotine. I wouldn’t bet against ‘uppers’ (legal amphetamines). That should about cover the legal drugs available.

I have some suggestions.

Good morning!
While I enjoy your coverage of the new space race, I am writing to suggest a couple of Hat Tips for musical entertainment. They have all been around for 40+ years, so no rush. Keep up your good work with your journalistic efforts! The truth will out.
