You’ve likely heard by now, or already knew, that today is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11’s successful mission, including humankind’s first steps on the surface of the moon.
Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, egresses the Lunar Module (LM) “Eagle” and begins to descend the steps of the LM ladder as he prepares to walk on the moon.
It’s probably fairly obvious to you therefore that today we’ll be celebrating that historic milestone with tracks all about the moon and the view from there. We’ll get to hear a mix of recent and library tracks from such artists as Kuutana, Playman54 with last humane orchestra, Phillip Wilkerson, Joe Frawley, Epsilon Eridani, Tone Ghost Ether, Cousin Silas & Jaime Munariz Ortiz, Lily Pond Orchestra, Not Your Average Hippy, Syndromeda, Erik Wøllo, Dave Luxton, Dan Pound, M. Dempsey, and Gypsy Witch.
Join us as we celebrate one of humankind’s most marvelous achievements!
