Eleven and a half billion miles - and still going...

Today's NY Times reports that Voyager 1, launched 35 years ago, is reaching the Heliosphere, the outer edge of the solar system, some eleven and a half billion miles from launch. On board is a message from earth and a CD of music. Below is list of the the musical offering; it looks like a great 'listen'. Ludwig, Johan and Chuck made the cut (among others). My personal fave is Blind Willie Johnson's, Dark Was The Night. What strange and wonderful sounds we humans make.
