Some songs on 45 related to the moon landing:
Jon and Robin and the In Crowd
Abnak 140
There's an American Flag on the Moon
Barry Winslow
Laurie LR 3509
The Smallest Astronaut (A Race to the Moon with the Red Baron)
Vik Venus (alias: Your Main Moon Man)
Buddah BDA 118
Moonflight
The most bizarre recording I own relating to the moon landing is an LP:
"Christmas on the Moon" with Tim Dinkins
Cartwheel LP-CW-112-A (Cartwheel Records was in LaPuente, California)
The title track, "Santa's Rocket," features a spoken lead-in done in a
sinister hillbilly voice. No other tracks have to do with the moon landing.
Earlier singles with trip to the moon theme (the Josie might be the ONE
78-era record, but mine is a 45):
The Chaperones
Josie 880
Cruise to the Moon
Gary (U.S.) Bonds
Legrand 1009
Trip to the Moon
Best,
Margaret G. Still

Since I'm getting only a smattering of 78-L E-mail, I imagine everyone is
talking about the 40th anniversary of man on the moon. The one one record I
have directly related to this incident is:
A 45 with picture sleeve entitled "First Man on the Moon," narrated by Hugh
Downs. This was issued on MGM PX-101.
Unrelated 78 recordings about men on moons:
Only the Moon Man Knows - Bonnie Guitar (Radio) The Cop on the Beat, The Man
in the Moon & Me - Phil Harris (on a Take Two CD) Did the Man in the Moon
Come from Texas? - Ole Rasmussen (Capitol) Makin' Faces at the Man in the
Moon - Kate Smith (Velvet Tone) The Man in the Moon - Doc Williams & the
Border Riders (Wheeling) Me and the Man in the Moon - Ukulele Ike (Columbia)
Mister Moon-Man, Turn off the Light - Jack Norworth & Nora Bayes (Victor)
Tell Your Lies to the Man in the Moon - T. Texas Tyler & his Oklahoma Melody
Boys (Four Star)
If there are any other AOL subscribers who have been exiled from 78-L, let
me know. I'm missing the discourse.
