a june bug july
With July gaining speed to fly, tearing away the pencil scrawled month of June from the calendar on the wall, my thoughts just naturally drifted to blue flight and a postcard from paradise of sorts, of the infamous Albany Flier, piloted by Glenn Curtiss 103 years ago, the first flight in the USA traveling one kilometer.
And Flight always reminds me of composer Michael Kamen's lifting end theme to From The Earth To The Moon.
Close your eyes and just soar:

What an exciting time this had to have been. My dad was born in 1898 and was always drawn to aircraft and automobiles. Beautiful music, too. I'm listening as I type.
I had not heard of this flight. I am glad to know of it. I was deeply moved by the music. I closed my eyes and listened. You are right. It does carry you to great heights. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful piece of art and a bit of history.
