I have a part of a song running through my head and the obly lyric i can remember is. ★But this is the only home that I have ever known.★ Its by a female singer I think either leslie fish or Julie Eckhart and it has a almost etherealness to the tune.
Does anyone know where to find the sheet music or midi for "Banned from Argo"? I'd like to do a cover for a project.
In 1976, Leslie Fish wrote a fairly remarkable anthem to celebrate the Apollo 11 landing, "Hope Eyrie".
(At least, 'remarkable' is the word that Dr. Roger Launius, formerly NASA's chief historian, used to describe it. He also wrote about this song in his 2005 paper, "Perceptions of Apollo: Myth, nostalgia, memory or all of the above?”, as well as in his other writing.)
Although Leslie has sadly now passed away, I wanted to share a new, labor-of-love recording of this song (using a decades-old vocal recording), that about 20 of us have been working to bring to life over the past year.
The producer is Michael Moricz (who was the final music director for PBS's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.)

he was pulling a job like so many before when they caught him and put him in jail
he was sentenced to transport to far away shores when the prison ship London set sail
I know more of the lyrics but not in order and I'm typing on mobile
Marty Burke is a filker and I've previously uploaded some of his tapes, classifying them as 'filk' if they included at least one filk song. Today I'm uploading the rest of the Burke music I have, but these don't have any filk on them. In the metadata I've classified them as Irish folk.
Burke is great; I hope you enjoy his music. I did confirm with our mod that it was okay to upload these.
These are are sourced from the community - Thank you!
You can find more details about the filk album, but not the Burke albums, in the filk wiki.
The raw .wav files are here, on the Internet Archive.
