Welcome to the Pats Peeps podcast. This week it is the Back Deck Broadcast here on Pat's Peeps. It's the Back Deck Broadcast brought to you by patspeepscom and all the businesses affiliated with patspeepscom. There you go, thank you. Well, that ended abruptly. Happy Monday. It is the Pats Peeps podcast 273. It is the back deck broadcast.
Speaker 1:Like I said there, for the week I'm going to do the podcast on the back deck. Unless something changes, then I won't. But I just, you know. Yeah, you know things are. If something happens, god forbid, then maybe I change it back to the indoors.
Speaker 1:But I'm sitting out there on this beautiful day, so there's no need to even look out the studio windows. It's, I'm just looking around me. It's gorgeous. Hope you can hear. I don't know if you can hear the birds in the background or not, but I'm sitting in the shade early in the day. It is not, I don't, you know. I haven't really looked at the weather. I don't know if it's going to be as hot as it was last couple of days. It did not bother me one bit, not even going to complain about that kind of stuff. I keep saying how great the spring was. I'm not going to complain once it. You know, heck, we're in June now. By the way, happy June.
Speaker 1:Today is June 2nd, 2025, and it's sunny, I don't know, maybe it's, I don't even know. It's nice out, maybe it's in the 80s, but on June the 2nd there's a little car going by. I'm on a deck, on my back deck, so I'm overlooking the road that I live off of, and it's just, it's so peaceful here you don't really hear the cars going by all that much, unless you're out on the back deck. You might hear them. On June 2nd it's my brother Jim's birthday, my brother Jim. Happy birthday to my brother Jim. Jim is the second in the order of age in the family. I am the oldest, jim is the second, there's six of us, there were seven, and when you include Ray the stepbrother is no longer with us Steve is next, then Tim and then my sister Michelle, and my sister Stephanie is the baby of the family. So, jim, happy birthday. Just a little bit on my brother Jim.
Speaker 1:What can I tell you about Jim? He's an ornery son of a gun. I'll tell you that. But then again, I'm sure all of us are in my family. I don't know, I'm not speaking of yours, but uh, but he's a. He's a lifelong Vikings fan. He's a lifelong Red Sox fan and boy for a long time with the Red Sox. It's not the same now because they've won a couple of World Series, uh, in recent history here, but you know, for a while there's a Red Sox. It's not the same now because they've won a couple of World Series, uh, in recent history here, but you know, for a while there's a Red Sox who felt that they were had the curse. And then you had the, the Vikings, which indeed may be cursed. Um, jim has been a die-hard fan, and so I'm glad that he got to see his team win the World Series a couple of times, even if it did come at the expense of my team in 2018. Was it 2018, right, red Sox beat the Dodgers, who have since won a couple of World Series. But it's not about that. It's about my brother Jim. He and I argue about the dumbest things. When I say argue, I take that back. Okay, we don't argue, because I don't. I'm not going to argue about such things, but let's just say we have debated our entire lives. There goes a car. Can you hear that? Hi, that's beautiful out here. 've debated our and when it comes to sports and you know we've debated our entire lives with our teams and some of the debates are he likes the american league, I like the national league, and so we always have to poke and prod at one another, particularly in poking at me, to try to get a reaction out of me. I try to refrain, I try not to play along, but I can't help it at times. I'll give you an example this last year, same Darnold with the Vikings. You know, when we were kids and my favorite quarterback, roman Gabriel and the Rams, they would always be in the playoffs. It always be like the Rams in the in the National Football League, the NFL. They had the NFL and the AFL right used to be the Boston Patriots over in the AFL anyhow. Then it became the AFC, nfc and um in the playoffs, roman Gabriel being my favorite quarterback growing up In the playoffs, roman Gabriel being my favorite quarterback growing up. I'll tell you how old I am I'm pretty young, see. And they'd play the Vikings whether it's Fran Tarkenton or Joe Capp and the Rams during a regular season usually when they would play the Vikings would beat the Vikings pretty handily if they were in LA, let's say, but as soon as they'd go to the playoffs and in the playoffs, you know, bud Grant was their coach. So my brother Jim's been a Vikings fan for a long time and myself a Rams fan, and in the playoffs the Rams would go play the Vikings in that snow against Bud Grant. You know the purple people eaters. The Rams had the fearsome foursome. What a rivalry. It was a great rivalry then and inevitably in the playoffs the Vikings would get the best of my Rams, only then to go to the Super Bowl, much like the Buffalo Bills, and get whacked. So the Vikings have never won the Super Bowl. I hope for my brother, jim, I hope for your sake, not in a year when the Rams are really, really good. But you know, if the Rams are out of it I'm pulling for your team because at some point I want your team to win the Super Bowl. You've seen your baseball team win anyhow. So last year he's just talking smack. He starts his little thing on our group message and our little family group message and Jim cannot help himself. If you're an NFL fan, you know Sam Darnold led the Vikings to what 14 wins last year. The Rams really great down the stretch, like they have been the last couple of years and so they end up playing the Vikings in the playoffs. And Jim, he's gonna start talking before the game. I don't do that, I don't talk before the game like that. When I say talk, I mean I'm not going to give your team a bad time. It's like whatever, good luck. But Jim can't help himself. He'll do a little poking and prodding. Well, after the Rams sacked the Vikings a record nine times, I think. That tied, I think it broke an all-time record for yardage lost in yardage for sacks in a game. Oh God, I loved it. But the Rams handily beat the Vikings. All right. So you know I love you, jim. You know I love you, jim. You know I remember all year the old Vikings because of our rivalry. I sent him a picture, a football card, of Mick Tinglehoff. Anyone remember Mick Tinglehoff? He was the center for the Minnesota Vikings back in those days when Tarkington and Cap was playing, and Mick Tinglehoff is in the Hall of Fame and I'll never forget the name. I mean, what a name Mick Tinglehoff. So, jim, oh, we used to argue about the. Again, not argue, but debate. I keep saying that Debate about the Major League Baseball All-Star game Because I don't like I don't. I'm a National League guy. It's not so much that I just don't like the American League, I'm just a National League fan. Okay, I don't like the American League. All right, I don't. There's certain teams that I admire and that I like. Okay, I'll be honest with you. The A's are in Sacramento, the A's are American League. I don't really care what anyone thinks about it, but I'm calling them the Sacramento A's because they're in Sacramento and they're playing baseball. So if someone doesn't like that, oh well. But yeah, I'm going to root for the A's while they're here. Yes, I'm gonna continue to root for my Dodgers. Hey, hey, yankee fan, how about that series this weekend? Huh, yeah, the Yankees took yesterday's game. Good way to go. But I know who took the series, just like who took the world series. So nice job, dodgers. But I've always been a National League fan. Jim's always been an American League fans. We have this rivalry when it comes to the all-star game, which has essentially been kind of ruined the way they do it now used to be. It meant something in baseball. To me, it was the only all-star game that actually meant something in baseball. I mean in sports. It was the baseball all-star game. I mean, look at Pete Rose and Ray Fossey. He mowed down Ray Fossey because it meant something, not because he wanted to hurt Ray Fossey. There was pride involved. Now everybody's got to play. There's all these rules. I won't belabor the point, but, jim, I love you. Happy birthday here on the back deck. Broadcast here at Pat's Peeps. I had a great time over the weekend Thanks to the fellas over in our little band we got. You know, this is a band I used to be a part of. Now we have a couple of new members. We hadn't seen each other for a dozen years maybe. And they called me one day. Hey, pat Scott called me one day. He saysott called me one day. He says he's one of our, he's one of our guitar players said hey, you know, we're gonna go be playing over at steve's house. Steve is a another guitar player in this group and they essentially to be honest, they essentially just jam. They call it the harmony hut and they just jam it. They call it the Harmony Hut and they just jam. It's a great music room and they've got everything the amps, the mics, the keyboards, drums, guitar all of this is set up in the hut. And so they said hey, would you like to come down and we'd love to see you and say hi to you. This is a few months ago. So I went down. Oh no, it's actually. You know what it was? Um, it was the night before my son died, and so it's been about two months. We've only got together a few times since then, maybe three times. But I just want to say what a blast I have I had. We did UFO, we rock, we did UFO, shoot, shoot. They go. Hey, let's do a couple of songs Pat wants to do. He's the singer and I'm like, yeah, you guys, you know, I mean I'm not trying to be the prima donna, we're not, we're not even a band going, we just jam together. Who knows, we might play at some point, but it's like the singer's got to be able to sing the songs, but they were, they were playing all these songs that I had not rehearsed, songs I've heard a million times but I've never sung. Uh, for instance, um, oh god, from aerosmith. I knew, knew, I was going to do that, oh God, anyhow, songs that I hadn't done in a band. We did come on Last Child, it was the last child Anyhow, which is not an easy song to sing.
Speaker 1:I mean, steven Tyler belts it out on that Screaming. Essentially we did that, we did do-do-do heartbreaker stones and these were just kind of off the cuff that they had brought to the table. You know, I wanted to do UFO, shoot, shoot. We did rock bottom UFO Anyhow. So great time doing that and, dare I say, say we sounded good. I have to say it was a blast. So I look forward to, you know, perhaps there'll be some recordings or something in the future once we get a couple of songs down. I mean, I don't know where we're going with that.
Speaker 1:Speaking of music, I'm sitting here, I was going to play something and and then this popped up and I thought, you know, I like this band. I don't know everything about this band here, but anytime, anytime it comes to music. Again, going back to our podcast, where they claim that you don't discover new music after the age of 30, which I think is, of course, horse manure, quite frankly. I mean, royal Blood is a band that I've discovered in the last few years Drive-By Truckers, like I mentioned. Spoon, is one of those bands. I've never listened to this. I don't own it. Hey, I'm promoting this Spoon. Rhythm and Soul is the name of the song. Let's see if I like this one as much as I like your other stuff. Pat's Peeps 273, happy Monday.
Speaker 5:Come loosen up. It's all hung up. Come count them. Waste it forever. Remember, the winter gets colder Ways. You always forget it's cold. Here comes the man. You saw him cause I. He just makes it cold. I know Rhythm and soul.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like the sound Boom, rhythm and soul. Yeah, I like that. I'd started hearing some of the music and I'd go out and I would check who is this playing this song? I didn't know the song, it would be Spoon. Then I'd hear another song and go well, who's playing this one? Go check it out. It'd be Spoon. Wow, okay, very nice. So a little mention of that right there. I'm glad I checked that out.
Speaker 1:One of the things I did on Friday of last week. I just want to mention this because this is Pat's Peeps. You know how we are. I'm always talking about yeah, yeah, I know, pat small business, check out please. But you know what? Honestly, it's really of high importance. And so last Friday, speaking of Pat's Peeps, which is not just a podcast, which is our community of people and our businesses, I went to shoot some videos for a Pat's Peeps business, but it's also an endorsement of my radio show. By the way I failed to mention Maybe you know this, maybe you don't my name is Pat Walsh.
Speaker 1:I'm the host of the Pat Walsh Show on KFPK Radio in Sacramento, 93.1 FM, 1530 AM. So many of you call my show and are telling me now that you're listening to the Pats Peeps, for which I am so very grateful. On my show I have several endorsements for local businesses. Uh, which listen? I would love to translate this to patspeepscom, where I have my other businesses and I'm really counting on some of you to please check them out. Um, again, it's free, but I I went to do I shot six videos for one of my endorsements, one of the companies that I represent on radio American River Flooring and so we decided they decided, we decided collectively that I would go to one of their clients' homes in which they had done a bunch of this work, some of the work similar to my house Inside, you know, interior painting, new flooring, new painted cabinets in the kitchen, things like this right?
Speaker 1:So I get over there and when I go up to the person's door, it's this gentleman shakes my hand and I look at him and I'm thinking you know, you get that feeling, god, I know this person. And as I'm thinking, god, I know this guy. And now we have Martin, who works with American River Flooring he's there, and Lori is there, who is the sales rep for the account rep for this business, for my show. And this gentleman looks at me and he shakes my hand. He goes, you know me, and I go. God, I was just thinking that.
Speaker 1:But I didn't have to reveal, say this was beautiful. I didn't have to reveal that I wasn't sure who it was because before I could even go, god you know, I knew you looked familiar. I'm trying to figure out. Where do I know this? I didn't have to say that. He said his name, bill, and he goes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've been with Pat on, I think, two, at least two or three, I think, maybe three of the Pat's Peeps group trips that we go with conservative tours. He's been to Italy twice, I believe in Ireland. I may get that wrong, bill, if you're listening, I apologize, but anyway he's been on these trips as the part of the Pats Peeps group. And I'm like, wait a minute, really, yeah. And I said you know what? Of course I know who you are, bill.
Speaker 1:I said I remember in Northern Italy the first time we were there, northern Italy, which is, I mean, the first time I was in Italy, I should say, which I can't believe I'm saying the first time, like there's another time, but anyhow. But the point is I remember the conversation we had on the bus. On, I remember the conversation we had on the bus, on the coach, I should say I told him about this conversation. He goes yeah, that's right, I remembered. Oh my gosh. So, bill, if you're listening, there was just that split-second thing where I was like I wasn't sure I knew that I knew you. But as soon as you said Bill, I'm like, yeah, man, right on, and Bill says to the camera and I appreciate it Bill's a one take wonder on these little video endorsements we were doing. He's like, yeah, it's all because of Pat. He's I said when I went. So I went over there, I gave this American river flooring a chance because I trusted Pat and they gave me the best deal. So awesome, thank you, thank you, thank you to Bill, thanks to American River Flooring, thanks to those of you who will really actually check out mypatspeepscom and look at our businesses. It'll make me and this business look good and it'll allow you to save money and the businesses will like it.
Speaker 1:Anyhow, all righty, All righty. What else? Oh, here's just for a fun break. Here's some. This is one of my bit. Oh, this is, I don't know. I'm always telling you that I enjoy. For some reason, which I can't explain, I'm one of the rare people who like like, eat scary clowns or clowns at all. Funny clowns too. I like clowns, but I'm also a person who enjoys some cringe every now and then, so I think we'll play a little Monday cringe. This is one of my favorites. I played this on my radio show before, but I got a couple of things here. Okay, here's one. This is QVC one. This is qvc. This is an intellectual and stimulating conversation between the hosts on qvc discovering uh well, I'll let all
Speaker 6:this let you listen. I love that color. That's such a happy, beautiful, rich.
Speaker 5:It almost kind of looks like what the earth looks like when you're a bazillion miles away from the planet.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, I just squinted at it from the moon, looking back at the planet. Moon from the planet, moon from the planet moon a star, the. I really don't even have to interrupt this. You talk about something that speaks for itself from the planet moon, a star, the?
Speaker 6:no, the moon is a planet darling the sun is a star.
Speaker 5:Is the moon really a planet?
Speaker 6:the moon is a planet.
Speaker 1:Okay, I'm gonna let that. I'm gonna get back to that. Okay, because it gets even better, so I'm gonna get back to that. I don't want to give it away, just just, just yet, because I want to tie it into our song of the day. There's a little tease. I've never done a tease on my podcast before. That's a radio thing. I just did a little tease. I'll finish that because it's beautiful. It's a thing of beauty, really is what it is. Here's one for you. I'll play this one you. This is for anyone out there on a Monday Monday. You know, some people are like God, golly, monday, hate Mondays. Back to work, trying to deal with people, blah, blah, blah. You know. Here's a man. This is called. This is Ray. I believe this is the work song. Maybe this work song will help your Monday and the rest of your week as well.
Speaker 3:Hi, my name is Ray and on yesterday my daughter called me because she was stressed out because of things that were going on on her job that she felt were quite unfair. Being quite disturbed, she called for comfort and I didn't really know what to tell her because we have to deal with so much mess in our society. So I was led to write this song just for her, to just give her some encouragement while dealing with stress and pressures on her job, and I figured I'd put it on the internet for all employees under stress to help you better deal with what you're going through on your job here.
Speaker 5:Here's how the song goes I'm about to whip somebody's ass. Oh, I'm about to whip somebody's ass. Oh, if you don't leave me alone.
Speaker 3:You're going to have to send me home cause I'm about to whip somebody's ass. Now you might not be able to sing that out loud, but you can hum it to yourself, and you know what the words are, and let it give you some strength to get through the next few moments on your job. All right, stay strong. Peace now.
Speaker 1:Thank you, ray. Hope that was inspiring for some folks out there. Hope that was very, very inspiring. What else do we have? Uh, just for fun. How about popcorn? I mean just for fun. Maybe I played this recently, but I can't get enough of popcorn. Here we go, let's dial it up.
Speaker 4:Good evening At the tone. The city daylight time will be 7.53 and 50 seconds. Good evening At the tone. Pacific Daylight Time will be 7.54 exactly. Good evening At the tone. Pacific Daylight Time will be 7.54 and 10 seconds, anyone else, get aggravated.
Speaker 1:You go into the grocery store. You go into the grocery store. You're buying your groceries. Number one things are too expensive. They're still too expensive. You're looking for deals. You go to the grocery store and you have to clip these coupons right. You got to clip coupons Instead of it just being like for a certain price, they want you to stand in the aisle I've talked about it before on this podcast and you got to stand like in the bleach aisle or dog food aisle or you know where they sell sponges, one of the aisles where it's, you know, quiet.
Speaker 1:Because you got to get on your phone and you got to look for an app. Did I get the app right? How do I clip the coupons, all of this stuff? By the way, you do none of that with patspeepscom. You just go into this business, as we support, and say Pats Peeps, that's it because I got tired of that Anyhow, weren't St Pat's Peeps? That's it Because I got tired of that, anyhow.
Speaker 1:And you go in and now not only are you paying these ridiculous prices, but you know if you go in at a certain time of day, depending on what store like, you're bagging your own groceries, even if you don't want to, I'm not going to mention this place. It's a place I've shopped at for a long time that I love. But they're about to lose my business because I'm done, first of all, paying the high prices. Then you have to bag your own groceries and then you know if you have produce and you got to look up item or key in code, hey, why am I doing your job? And I used to bag my groceries, so now the groceries are too high, then I have to bag them myself, then I do the cash myself and then you know you put them in the bag yourself. So you're doing everything that they used to do in the store and it costs more now. So that's one thing.
Speaker 1:But then the other thing is I went to a place last Friday for lunch. I was craving a burger. I was craving a burger. I wanted a burger, a bacon cheeseburger from a certain place with fries. Now, because I like the place, because I'm not trying to badmouth any place and it's local. But here's what I don't like when I walk in.
Speaker 1:So these two guys walk in in front of me, we get in and now there's a sign I'm ready to go up to the counter and just order, like I have done numerous times at this place, at this establishment. You'll know what it is if I tell you what they do. Next You'll go oh, I know what he's talking about Maybe, and they give you this little thing and you put it wherever you sit. Well, maybe there's other I think there's other restaurants perhaps that do this, but anyway, it's a burger place and you put it on your table and all of a sudden it starts to buzz and that way you know your order is up. So you go get your order. Well, they didn't do that.
Speaker 1:I walk in. These two guys stop in front of me. They're placing their order and says order here and it's on a sign. Now I'm like, okay, wait a minute, I don't really want to order from a sign. I don't want to touch this grody ass sign with my fingers before I eat my fries and my burger. But now I'm probably gonna have to. So, uh, I guess, geez, I'll do the sign. I'll wait for these guys. Now there's gonna be a line coming out the door and now I'm gonna have to go on the hand. Well, generally, anyhow, I go in the bathroom and wash my hands before I eat. Anyhow, when I'm out and about or anywhere I go, even at home. Then here comes this family of five I assume they were family, they, they were all together kids and a couple of adults and they just walk right by us, right to the counter, and they say oh, is it? The lady goes oh, is it okay if we order up here?
Speaker 1:And the young gal behind the counter goes oh, of course sure with a twinkle in her eye, ding Like a Pepsodent commercials, of course. So now I'm behind the two guys no offense at the, at the sign I don't want to touch. And now I'm behind the family of five because I didn't think well, gee, maybe I can go to the counter and actually order. And then the next part of this is on me. I I was thinking so intently about it that I didn't look over and glance over and notice there was other screens that you could order and these two guys were taking forever. I could have walked over there. I would have still been behind this family. Anyhow, I don't like it. No, sir, I'm old school, you know. Just let me go up there and order. Don't make me clip the coupons and all that. Whatever I mean, I don't mind it if it's the coupon. Anyhow, I don't want to belabor the point. Let's see what else do we have today? Oh, guillermo, marconi's birthday today, who I owe all of this to the ability to broadcast. It's Marconi's birthday today, who I owe all of this to the ability to broadcast. It's Marconi's birthday. We just went to where he was buried when we were in Italy is a memorial, marconi's memorial. We were just there in April and Ryan Harris and myself Ryan also a radio guy who's been here we talked about the three stooges.
Speaker 1:Recently on the podcast, longtime colleague of mine in radio we were celebrating Marconi, guillermo Marconi. So on my radio show tonight we shall celebrate the man who made this possible Radio broadcasting, and I am so indebted to this gentleman Elsewhere. Where else could I do my impersonation of this guy that only people in Sacramento who grew up at a certain time would even recognize? All right, here we go. Only a few people would know this one, but here we go. Hi folks, chuck Swift the little profit dealer. Thank you, come on. Come on, you did that in Miami. They go. What the heck what? Hi folks, chuck Swift the little profit dealer. Anyone remember Chuck Swift the little profit dealer? Rest in peace, chuck Swift. See, I can say that over the radio because I can clown on the radio. Have fun on this medium that I love, marconi. Thank you. All right, folks.
Speaker 1:Chuck Swift, for the Bats Peeps podcast. He used to use the little peep. Remember that. Didn't he use the little peep for his little profit dealer? I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he did. Which reminds me as well. You know what that reminds me of. That's the old days. So Chuck Swift was Chuck Swift. He was a car dealer. It's in the Sacramento area and he owned I don't know one or two dealerships. I can't really remember how many he owned, but yeah, he owned several dealerships, I think several, you know. That made me think of back in the day too, they had the Dodge Boys in Sacramento. I loved this cartoon. When it would come on it would be, you know, an old Western, the Dodge Boys. Anyone remember? Oh God, I must be old but I remember.
Speaker 7:Here come the Dodge Boys. Those good guys are back With a look in their eye they mean business this time.
Speaker 2:Their deals are great. Now's the time to buy. See the Dodge Boys. Now they mean business this time the Coronet.
Speaker 1:The 67 Coronet we call standard others charge During Operation 67.
Speaker 2:They're going to town. They're going to trade the Dodge Boys deal. Hey, the others are afraid you just can't beat.
Speaker 7:Brand X is worried. The Dodge Boys deal. There goes the other leading brand.
Speaker 1:The good guys wear the white hats.
Speaker 7:Strike up a deal with the Dodge Boys. You can tell they're good guys wear the white hats. Strike up a deal with the Dodge Boys. You can tell they're good guys. They all wear white hats.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's right At the sign of the cat. Wow, anyhow, they also had the Roseville gang. But I digress. Anyhow, music time. I pulled this one off my shelf today, so let's get back. I'm going to get back to the QVC. All right, we'll get back to the QVC and then we're going to tie it in to today's rare record that I pulled from my shelf. All right, so back to Qvc and the intellectual discussion of whether or not, or what. What is the moon I love?
Speaker 6:that color that's such a happy, beautiful, rich it almost kind of looks like what the earth looks like when you're a bazillion miles away from the planet yes, yes, I just squinted at it from the moon, looking away from the planet moon.
Speaker 5:Yes, I just squinted at it From the planet moon. Isn't the moon a?
Speaker 6:star. No, the moon is a planet darling.

Speaker 1:Song by an English songwriter singer, first released July 11, 1969 by Phillips and Mercury Records. It's a seven-inch single which, by the way, I'm holding in my hands right now. And here's the awesome thing there's one stamp on it from the radio station. It's not awesome thing. There's one stamp on it from the radio station. It's not a sticker, it's a stamp which says January 29, 1973. Not for sale on one side, short version. Not for sale on the other side, long version. Two copies of this, stereo on the other one, short version, not for sale, and stereo, not for sale, long version on the other side. These are two copies of this and they are in absolutely mint condition. They are in absolutely mint condition. So they released it in 69 as a seven-inch single.
Speaker 1:Then the opening track of the second, this artist's second studio album, produced by Gus Dudgeon and reached Trident Studios in London, recorded, I should say, at Trident Studios in London, and I'm not going to get too much, I'll just tell you this. It was recorded June 20th of 1969. Psychedelic sort of folk rock, because there's so much to say about this song, there's just so like. The story just goes on and on. But anyhow, let me give you a little bit more about it. Anyhow, this song, like I say, was recorded in 69. This song, like I say, was recorded in 69. It was inspired by a movie, a very famous movie from 1968 about feelings of alienation.
Speaker 1:That point in his career and this sound departed from the music hall of his debut album to psychedelic folk, like I said, inspired by the Bee Gees. It was one of the most musically complex compositions that this artist had written up to this point. And then they rush released this single to capitalize on Apollo 11, on the moon landing Song received critical praise. It was used by the BBC as background music during its coverage of the event. It initially sold poorly. Then it reached number five in the UK and became this artist's first and only chart hit for another three years. And then these reissues, which I hold in my hand, became this artist's first US hit in 1972 and then his first UK number one in 1975. So is the moon, a planet, wow, talking about a space odyssey, david Bowie, rca Records. Off-yellow label, absolutely perfect condition, like I said, and Ground control to Major Tom.
Speaker 7:Ground control to Major Tom.
Speaker 5:Take your protein pills and put your helmet on.
Speaker 4:Ground control to major Tom commencing countdown engines on check ignition, and may God's love be with you.
Speaker 5:This is ground control to Major Tom. You've really made the grade.
