- I have found that one of the best tributes I've seen/heard is the piece of
- music that Ron McNair was working on with Jean-Michel Jarre. Ron was a
- saxophonist, and had worked on a piece of music that he would play in orbit
- while it was recorded on the ground. After the disaster, Jarre reworked the
- piece as "Ron's Theme" and included it on his album "Rendezvous" that was
- subsequently performed in that huge gig in Houston's downtown. I always
- get a lump in my throat when I listen to that piece of music.
