Over The Moon (1035)
On the program this time, we look up at the skies for songs from the hi-fi era inspired by the moon. The moon has always been an influence for art, but it gained special meaning during the space age with the race to land a person on its surface. On the show, we'll hear from Esquivel, Dinah Washington, Buddy Greco, The Out-Islanders, and many more.
