You don’t need a rocket ship to fly to the moon. All you have to do is fall in love, and in no time you’ll be orbiting that big rock in the sky, light as a feather!
Not to mention it’s cheaper and you don’t need a space suit.
We’ll help you lift off at our next concert performance, Sun, Moon & Stars, at 1:30 p.m. Sat., Feb. 4, at St. Katharine of Siena Church in Wayne.
Who needs gravity anyway?
