An interesting phenomenon will take place in North America tonight…around 10:04 pm CST the full moon will be blue. Sort of. Given that tonight’s full moon is the second we’ve seen in May, it is classified as a “blue moon”…a rare and special astrological event. As interesting as the occurrence is to me, I realize that it probably isn’t to most but should you find yourself interested in finding out more, go here. Hopefully you won’t miss tonight’s full moon as to me there’s nothing quite as beautiful in all of nature but if you do happen to be fast asleep when the moon rises then you’ll get another chance soon...in May 2008, December 2009 and November of 2010.
Thinking about the blue moon to come tonight reminded me that many a wonderful song has been penned about the mysterious, mystical, magnificent moon…blue and otherwise. And so…I offer up just a few songs that I had on hand here today with fitting and appropriate titles.
