LDWS PREFERRED TUNEZES, #314: WITNESSES WALTZ — Leslie Fish Classic filk by Leslie Fish. She is responsible for the finest of anthems about the moon landing, Hope Eyrie -- and in A Toast for Unknown Heroes, cast the spotlight out from the astronauts to showcase everyone who played a pivotal role in the moon landing, whether in public or behind the scenes -- from the engineers to the welders. In Witnesses Waltz, about the crowds who would gather at Cape Cavaveral for shuttle launches, she takes a broader view -- noting that all of those who take a passionate interest in the space program, all those who *care*, are part of the story as well, part of the story of humanitys stepping out, if only a little, beyond its Terran crucible. And its a mighty fine tune, too.
