Michael Martin Murphey & the Rio Grande Band – Wildfire
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
Some things take us back to our childhood, this song takes me back to a 1977 or ’78 30 hour flight on a Pan Am 747 SP to Britain with one stop in LA. It was the only tune on a very limited selection worth listening to. The movie they offered was Invasion of The Body Snatchers starring Donald Sutherland. Despite the overexposure to the tune I have always liked it.
I hated this song way back when and it hasn’t improved with age, I still hate it
