We lucked out in So. Cal. and got clear skies. Cool, though, so I watched the later part on a stream out of an observatory in Prescott, AZ.
In 1978, Jeff Wayne composed a rock-operaish version of War of the Worlds. It’s a remarkable work, with Richard Burton doing the narration, and Justin Hayward. It’s still available on CD, and on youtube. Here’s a taste.

Burton’s narration gives me the same chills I had listening to the recording of the original broadcast.
Our luck was so rotten that our clouds not only dumped rain all night but dumped snow right after sunrise! And we were I the 70s yesterday. *siiiiiigh*
Thanks for the link! Listening right now. I’ve heard this before but it’s been a loooooong time. I’m a huge Moody Blues fan and Justin Hayward makes me swoon. LOL!
