Name: Galileo's Telescope by Peter Davison
Duration: 8 min 43 s
Description: I have always loved to look at the stars. I sometimes pretended I was Galileo, but I didn’t know anything about him. Reading David Wootton’s inspiring book “Galileo: Watcher of the Skies” showed me Galileo and his times, which for me turned into music!

Dorothy Parker’s  heart was definitely in the right place, but having been a satirist and versifier of the 20’s, she wasn't  taken seriously when she entertained more serious subjects in later years. 

This is from a radio show I wrote about  her called “Perfect Rose,” first broadcast in 1989 on KALW in San Francisco.  Original lyric.

I have always loved to look at the stars. I sometimes pretended I was Galileo, but I didn’t know anything about him. Reading David Wootton’s inspiring book “Galileo: Watcher of the Skies” showed me Galileo and his times, which for me turned into music!
