The Ballad of John Glenn

Digitized and modified an old audio tape of a song that my Dad and Uncle wrote after John Glenn's flight in Friendship 7. The tape was a rehearsal tape with only two cuts. One had a very bad ending and the other was much too slow. I was able to copy a portion from earlier in the song and paste it in place of the bad ending, repeating it several times as it faded out.

I burned an audio CD of the results and sent it to Senator Glenn on behalf of my uncle just after his recent return to space. My Uncle received a thank you letter from the Senator.
