Topping the Star Charts

Voyager 1’s “The Sounds Of Earth” Eleven billion miles from the sun a record, golden when it left these parts, a runaway hit on Voyager One, at Ophiuchus, sure to top the charts, will introduce Mozart to other stars, not to mention Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode”. The knock-offs sold in alien bazaars will knock their socks off or at least it should make them extend their eyestalks in surprise. They’ll soon begin to learn to sing along to whales recorded and the baby’s cries — adepts might even master Earth’s birdsong. Should Beethoven not prove to be their fave, Then Guan PingHu’s GuQin could be their rave.
