The Green Hills of Earth...Part 1 - John Dennis Dickey (Multi-track recording)

[BadlanderOutsider]

One of my favourite short stories. Love the song.

[NJEsperantist]

Subtitles! Subtitles, my kingdom for subtitles! In other words, where can I find these lyrics? Great song!

[Blinkymyt]

@NJEsperantist Thanks for the nice accolade, NJE. The lyrics for Rhysling's last space ballad are included in Robert Heinlein's short story, "The Green Hills of Earth".

Ah fave Heinlein. Rather haunting meolody, suits. So you don't think theyll do it dancing with stars?. why...knot?

[rtscaptain]

this is great thank you. If you all havent heard the radio drama of "the green hills of earth" i sugest looking it up. X Minus One broadcast in 55

[Blinkymyt]

@rtscaptain Thanks yourself, Brandon. "Dimension X" also broadcast a radio adaptation of "The Green Hills of Earth'" in the early 50's. My other video among my entries is "The Green Hills of Earth More Distant...Part 2" (a more downbeat version), with Heinlein's original verses if you wish to hear it. Again, always great to hear nice words about one's musical ventures. Cordially, John

Hi John,

I like this a lot my friend!!! You did a great job performing this song!

Very appropriate images to enhance our listening, and visual

experience!!! If the "Harlem Globe Trotters" ever lose the recording

of "Sweet Georgia Brown" with "Elmo Tanner" whistling...you could surely make up the difference!!! ;o) "Thumbs Up...Way Up!"

Best Regards Always John,

Dwayne

@ilovetrains63 Thanks so much, my Signal Oil compadre (yes, t'was "The Whistler"'s primary sponsor). And, for all who happen to read this response, I would like to refer you to Dwayne's great YouTube musical site (as noted above: "lovetrain63). He is truly an artisan of our country's best pop and legacy music, as well as a very gifted composer and performer. Hope you don't mind the plug, good friend. Cordially, John

[ilovetrains63]

Hi Again John,

WOW....I come here to give you accolades for your fine

musical interpretations, and receive such praise!!!

Thanks a lot John!!! I really appreciate the plug my good friend!!!

Best Regards Always John,

Dwayne

I´m reading the book right now. The song really fits to it

[Dixie0704]

Beautiful scenery in the video. Nice music and vocals. Well Done!

Shouldn't surprise you that I'm a Heinlein fan too - and this was one great short story, wasn't it? Fine vocal/recording/video!
