As a child of the 60's who spent many an hour turning his bedroom closet into the capsule of the Apollo command and space module, I dig this anecdote about today's tune from the US'ian Library of Congress:
...In December 1965, having completed the first U.S. space rendezvous and set a record for the longest flight in the U.S. space program, the astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell hurtled back to earth aboard their Gemini 7 spacecraft. Asked by NASA communication personnel if they wanted any particular music piped up to them, the crew requested Bing Crosby's recording of "I'll Be Home for Christmas."...

This year we will be heading to our home away from home (a.k.a Grandpops house) by way of a late afternoon ferry on Christmas eve eve.
Will we get there before the flood rains begin in earnest that will then soon turn everything to a mucky, mushy mess sure to stop traffic everywhere on the South Island?
Stay tuned!
