Help JC find a filk song (One Way To Go!)

[Jonathan_Chance]

I had several collections of filk songs back in my college days. Most of them, as you can imagine, were incredibly forgettable.

But one has always stuck with me.

It’s called ‘One Way to Go’ and is a wonderful history of space exploration and the reasons for doing so (‘Solar sailing ships deployed/To mine the asteroids’)

I recall the chorus…

“And there’s only one way to go from here
One way to go
It’s logical it’s clear
There’s only one way to go from here
Without a doubt
The only way to go from here it OUT!”

Someone please help an old man, will you? I’d really like to get it on CD.

Scroll down to Diana Gallagher; it credits the song to her, though some links I’ve seen indicate it was covered by Julia Ecklar, as well.

There are a few sites online that sell filk tapes and the like. One is
Firebird Arts and Music . Hopefully, they’ll have it.

Good luck!
