[sci.space.shuttle] STS-26 wakeup tapes

   I'm a bit reluctant to admit this, but I have original recordings
from Mike Cahill at KKBQ radio in Houston of the three wakeup songs that
he recorded for STS-26. I might be able to send out ONE copy of the tape
to someone who would be willing to pass it around (I just don't have the
facilities or the time to go into mass production!). Otherwise, I suggest
writing or calling KKBQ in Houston to see if Mike still is there.

   Mike sent me a copy of one of the songs that he did for STS-27. Since
it was a military mission, the others are classified! The title is
"Countdown" sung to the tune of "Bandstand". I'll be out of town for a
week but when I return I can post a transcript of the song.

   Mike obviously put a lot of work into these - they are very good and
of quite high quality! Obviously a very talented person.
