“Blue
moon, blue moon, blue moon
Keep
shining bright,
Blue
moon, keep on shining bright
You’re
gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue
moon, keep shining bright.
I
said Blue Moon of Kentucky
keep
on shining …”

Kentucky”

by the great Elvis Presley

The
Blue Moon Brewing Company helps keep spirits shining bright at the 10th
annual Blues, Brews & Barbecue in downtown Allentown, Pennsylvania June 10,
2017 … a tad before summer but a great way to kick off the season with the
sounds of the blues & the taste of brews and barbecue!
I blended
a street scene photo I shot at the festival of a Blue Moon beer truck with a Blue
Moon I captured shining over Cedar Creek Parkway, Allentown on July 31, 2015.
A
Blue Moon is defined as any time there is a second full moon in a calendar
month, according to NASA. The next will occur January 2, 2018.
“Blue
Moon of Kentucky” is the official Bluegrass song of Kentucky, written by Bill
Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass,” in 1946.
The
great Elvis Presley – an artist who occurs “once in a blue moon,” – recorded
his fantastic rockabilly version in 1954.
