ROCKOLLECTIONS: 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF EAGLE LANDING-SPACE:THE FINAL FRONTIER PT.7

Well, I am going to finish up the Moon portion of this Space series with what I am calling Kitchen Sink Moon Songs.
Those are Moon songs that didn’t quite fit into any category in our various stops along the way, but are good enough or just plain interesting enough to warrant playing.
We’ll start off with George Wurzbach, who I ALMOST know.
At my TV announcing job, I work with his on-camera wife- a real nice lady!
George, besides his solo career, is also a member of a group called Modern Man- the male answer to the fabulously funny female Four Bitchin’ Babes.
He can write serious, beautiful songs that can tug at your heartstrings. And he can also write songs like this, A Much Better View Of The Moon, that show his funny, twisted way of looking at things.
Gotta admire the guy in this one, he’s got the right attitude- for him the glass is always half FULL!
After that a very short song by Melanie, then one that although I consider myself very well versed in the music of the past, I had never heard nor heard of. And it reached # 8 on the charts in 1957!
Finally, a sound clip from a Beatles appearance on a British TV comedy show, having fun with an old standard.
Heading in a different direction, 2 Space songs that go together, and you will easily hear why.
And I should point out, in the first one the Byrds accurately sing about pyramids instead of monoliths- as they appeared in Arthur C. Clarke’s original short story.
This will set the table for our next subject- Astronauts.

Mike
