Thanks Elaine, A Space Oddity was always a favorite for me. It is referenced in other songs written by Bowe throughout his life, usually vaguely, and many people believe it to be an autobiographical tale with the last references possibly in the song Blackstar which was released only two days before his death. I also like Peter Schilling"s song Major Tom (Coming Home) which was a direct reference to Bowes character.

Hi Andrea, how are you? I had a moment so I decided to post a poem. I've only posted 11 this whole year. How sad and can't read many either; although, I did read the cute tribute your granddaughter wrote for you. : ) Thanks for the visit.
