The Moonwalk - 40 years ago today!


The first moonwalk is forever linked to my BFF Lana, her Dad Ray, and the Beatles. 40 years ago today, Lana and I were hanging out in her room, in rapture over the newest Beatle Album, The White Album. We were listening to a cool song (still a cool song) entitled: "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" - Lana's Dad, Ray Ross, came in the room and unceremoniously ripped the needle across the record (yes folks, it was vinyl) and yelled: HISTORY IS BEING MADE AND YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT!!!! We ran into the den and sat on the floor watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in black and white making history. It was amazing then and it is still amazing.
