RedRich Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Lovely shots as usual Wanderer. I enjoyed Commander Chris Hadfields interview on the late late show last Friday. I wonder did Bowie ever think he would hear Space Oddity sung in Space when he wrote it. Did you get a chance to speak to the man himself. Rich, Quote
thewanderer Posted December 21, 2013 Author Posted December 21, 2013 Lovely shots as usual Wanderer. I enjoyed Commander Chris Hadfields interview on the late late show last Friday. I wonder did Bowie ever think he would hear Space Oddity sung in Space when he wrote it. Did you get a chance to speak to the man himself. Rich, Yes I did, very briefly as there was so many people wanting to meet him. I queued for about two hours in the wind and the rain to get my book signed by him. He greeted each and every person with a warm and firm handshake and asked how we were. A pure gentleman. I finished reading his book last night. I would highly recommend it. The Wanderer. Quote
