Glad Gliese (to "Sad Lisa")

Written to the lovely, bittersweet melody of Cat Stevens' "Sad Lisa" off “Tea for the Tillerman,” my new lyrics here were inspired by the October 1, 2010, Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) found at this link: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap101001.html. The substitute poem was posted at my blog here http://kat330.tumblr.com/post/3242646193/owed-to-apod where you can also read my brief editorial about the planet's discovery. I had it in mind to record my "filksong" for a SoundCloud upload ever since I opened the account here, but just never got around to it. Then I really wanted to post it soon after Neil Armstrong's passing, as my own nod to him and wink to the moon, but allergies intervened. So my silly "Warmup Olio" was posted instead. This is a straightforward vocal with piano accompaniment (not my own), albeit my voice is still compromised by some congestion.
