Liner notes from Russ

Dave Ellis and Lauren Rivera blessed my wife and me with our first grandchild in the year 2000.

And what a blessing. Bodacious. Dancie. Verbal. Tuneful starting at around three.

So, in thinking about collaborations for this album, I thought of her. Bella and her father had come up with some playful collaborations over the years. I was certain she would be up for it.

When I asked her, she readily agreed. Bella suggested some possibilities from a menu of compositions she was creating in her dorm room at San Francisco State University, where she is a student in the Theater Arts Program.

We settled on Apollo 11, largely because I had just watched a PBS documentary on the mission called “Eight Days to the Moon and Back”. I reviewed the documentary for the astronauts comments that I found interesting.

Bella made a few adjustments, and her Daddy Dave mixed it. Here it is.

lyrics

Fly so high, up above.
Fly so high, soaring through the sky.

Apollo 11, I hear the rocket taking off.
Soaring through the sky.

Fly so high, soaring through the sky.

Apollo 11
Apollo 11
Apollo 11
Fly so high, soaring through the sky.

Apollo 11, I hear the rocket taking off.
Soaring through the sky.
Fly so high, up above.
Apollo 11
