Full of Moon
Fri, July 15: Following up on the previous week’s schizoid songs, we turned to a related theme, that of the Full Moon herself. Again, in all my years of music programming, I hadn’t done one on Moon themes. Many, many more will likely come to the reader’s mind. Please feel free to post your own suggestions via the comments feature here on the blog.
Meanwhile, I promise you the Moon:
