The Blue Moon Hops ...

“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 …”

                                ~ “Blue Moon of Kentucky”

                 ~ recorded by the great Elvis Presley

                                             ~ 1954

The Blue Moon Brewing Company helps keep spirits shining bright at the 10^th 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.
