We've a special treat for you, today! As you know, the Journey frequently presents at conventions and venues across the country. Our last event was at the science-themed pub, The Wavelength Brewing Co.
Not only was a fine selection of craft beers on tap, but also the Young Traveler, performing a suite of current musical hits. I followed things up with a half-hour presentation on the recently concluded Mercury program, discussing all of the flights and the folks who flew them.
(Astronauts Cooper, Schirra, Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Slayton, and Carpenter)
We played to a packed house, receiving rave reviews. Our only regret is that we could not be joined by all of our friends and fans. However, we did have a TV crew on-hand, and thanks to the networks and Telstar 2, we are now able to show this performance to the world.
If you've any kind of viewing screen, you should have no trouble tuning in any time of day from anywhere.
So sit back, enjoy, and we hope you can join us at the next performance of the Galactic Journey!
Looks — and sounds — like you and the Young Traveler are born performers!
Compliments to the Young Traveller for her excellent voice and playing; and for her nerve too.
No wonder the talk kept them engaged all through.
A fine performance by the Young Traveler. She's got a good voice that's rather mature for her age. Excellent work on the uke, too.
And an engaging talk by her old man, as well. I would add, though, that something else that sets the Mercury 7 apart from the average American is education. It was decided at some high level that the astronauts had to have a college degree. That's why, even though he's the man who broke the sound barrier, Chuck Yeager wasn't even allowed to try out for the astronaut corps.
