“I always wanted to soar into the skies.”
Larry was supposed to be 1,600 feet in the air. He just hit 16,000.
In 1982, Larry Walters saw something nobody sitting in a Sears lawnchair had ever seen before (or since)— the curvature of the earth. Strapped to 42 weather balloons, Larry soared above the skies of Los Angeles for 45 minutes. This 15 minute musical is the story of that flight, the man on it, and the woman on the ground keeping him alive.
