Wartime Radio Revue – Bei Mir Bist Du Shein
An evening pause: A modern rendition of the classic Andrews Sisters wartime hit.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
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 print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
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

The song title is incorrect. The Andrew Sisters sang the song, “Bei mir du bist schön.” Or another spelling of schön is schoen. The song title is from a Yiddish song.
Warren Mitchell: I am not sure you are right. A web search, which confirms this as a Yiddish song originally, seems to match closely the title as given at this youtube site, with of course some wide variations in spelling.

“Stoen” isn’t it. (That would translate more to “moan” or “groan.”)
Okay, I’ve changed the last word to match that wikipedia page, which is also one of the pages I looked at when I did my web search. The difference didn’t stand out to me until you pointed it out.
