BLUE MOON

"Phew!"

Yes, I will say it again and again - "Phew!". Strange weather, a long journey, blue moon and all, we made it through this project. And achievement, in small dose, is good.

In folklore and many cultures, the blue moon term is used. The name given for the full moon of certain months and calculating the cycles, so on. It gets a bit mathematical and scientific. When it is being said, it means "a rare occasion / event" in the phrase "once in a blue moon". It is not the colour of what you will see in the sky, well, but according to Wikipedia, there have been few occasions that the moon did seem bluish. Caused by the pollution of the sky when Krakatoa volcano erupted in 1883. Apparently there is another kind of smoke pollution that causes the moon to seem red in colour.

A rare event. That is something special. Like the launch of this CD set. Out in most CD shops in early October. Look it up, yeah?

Band Of Gold - Don Cherry (1955)

I've never wanted wealth untold

My life has one design

A simple little band of gold

To prove that you are mine

Don't want the world to have and hold

For fame is not my line

Just want a little band of gold

To prove that you are mine

Some sail away to Araby

And other lands of mystery

But all the wonders that they see

Will never tempt me

Their memories will soon grow cold

But til the end of time

There'll be a little band of gold

To prove that you are mine

Don't want the world to have and hold

For fame is not my line

Just want a little band of gold

To prove that you are mine

Love is A Many Splendored Thing - The Four Aces (1955)

Love is a many splendored thing

It's the April rose

That only grows in the early spring

Love is nature's way of giving

A reason to be living

The golden crown that makes a man a king


Once on a high and windy hill

In the morning mist

Two lovers kissed

And the world stood still

Then your fingers touched

My silent heart and taught it how to sing

Yes, true love's

A many splendored thing


Once on a high and windy hill

In the morning mist

Two lovers kissed

And the world stood still

Then your fingers touched

My silent heart and taught it how to sing

Yes, true love's

A many splendored thing

Young Girl - Gary Puckett & The Union Gap (1968)

Young girl, get out of my mind

My love for you is way out of line

Better run, girl

You're much too young, girl


With all the charms of a woman

You've kept the secret of your youth

You led me to believe

You're old enough

To give me Love

And now it hurts to know the truth


Whaoo-oh-oh

Young girl, get out of my mind

My love for you is way out of line

Better run, girl

You're much too young, girl


Beneath your perfume and make-up

You're just a baby in disguise

And though you know

That it's wrong to be

Alone with me

That come on look is in your eyes


Whaoo-oh-oh

Young girl, get out of my mind

My love for you is way out of line

Better run, girl

You're much too young, girl


So hurry home to your Mama

I'm sure she wonders where you are

Get out of here

Before I have the time

To change my mind

'Cause I'm afraid we'll go too far


Whaoo-oh-oh

Young girl, get out of my mind

My love for you is way out of line

Better run, girl

You're much too young, girl


Young girl, get out of my mind

My love for you is way out of line

Better run, girl

You're much too young, girl

Wake up little Suzie - Everly Brothers (1957)

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

We've both been sound asleep

Wake up, little Susie, and weep

The movie's over, it's four o'clock

And we're in trouble deep

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie, well


Whatta they gonna tell your mama

Whatta they gonna tell your pa

Whatta they gonna tell our friends

When they say “ooh-la-la”

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie, well


I told your mama that you'd be in by ten

Well, Susie baby, looks like we goofed again

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie, we gotta go home


Wake up, little Susie, wake up

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn't so hot

It didn't have much of a plot

We fell asleep, our goose is cooked

Our reputation is shot

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie, well


Whatta they gonna tell your mama

Whatta they gonna tell your pa

Whatta they gonna tell our friends

When they say “ooh-la-la”

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie

Wake up little Susie

The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss) - Betty Everett (1964)

Does he love me, I wanna know

How can I tell if he loves me so


(is it in his eyes) Oh no, you'll be deceived

(is it in his eyes) Oh no, he'll make believe

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss (that's where it is, oh yeah)


(or is it in his face) Oh no, it's just his charm

(in his one embrace) Oh no, that's just his arm

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss (that's where it is)

Oh oh, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)


Oh oh oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight

And find out what you wanna know

If it's love, if it really is

It's there in his kiss


(how 'bout the way he acts) Oh no, that's not the way

And you're not listenin' to all I say

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss (that's where it is)

Oh yeah, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)


Whoa oh oh, kiss him and squeeze him tight

And find out what you wanna know

If it's love, if it really is

It's there in his kiss


(how 'bout the way he acts) Oh no, that's not the way

And you're not listenin' to all I say

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss (that's where it is)

Oh yeah, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)

Oh oh, it's in his kiss (that's where it is)
