Sissel Kyrkjebø – Summertime
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
Goose Bumps !
Norway got soul!
So I’m sitting in a Waffle House with two work buddies and one gets up and goes toward the jukebox. He comes back and “Summertime” starts to play over the speakers. I say, “You know, I always thought that “Summertime” was such a perfect song that NOBODY could screw it up. I guess I was wrong”.
My buddy jumps up mad as hell and tells me it was he was the one who put in the quarter because it was some American Idol singer and he thought she was great!
Really, really mad.
I gave an apology but mumbled in a Galilean sotto voce…”And yet it still sucks”.
