Music from space: Is Somebody Singing? Yep, The Barenaked Ladies & Chris Hadfield (with the Wexford Gleeks)

Monks love stuff like this.

The Barenaked Ladies & Chris Hadfield (with the Wexford Gleeks) sang a song about a year ago with Chris singing from the International Space Station, hooked up to the studio in Toronto.

Here’s the story (vid) of the planning…(not the one below, which is of the song!)
