that reaches earth
from the MOON,
consisting mostly of
sunlight
with some
starlight
and earthlight
reflected
from those portions
of its surface
which the sun's light
strikes.

A dreamer
is one
who can only find his way

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade,
and do the other things,
not because they are easy,
but because they are hard,
because that goal will serve to organize
and measure the best or our energies and skills,
because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept,
one we are unwilling to postpone,
and one which we intend to win."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
1917-1963
35th President of the United States,
Serving from January 1961 until he was assassinated in November 1963.

Midnight - not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory,
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory - all alone in the moonlight.
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again...
Has the moon lost her memory,
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind begins to moan.
Memory - all alone in the moonlight.
I can smile at the old days,
I was beautiful then.
I remember the time I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again...

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight.Just a touch of the fire burning so bright.
I don't want to mess this thing up.
I don't want to push too far.
Just a shot in the dark that you just might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life.
So baby I'm alright with just a kiss goodnight.
"Yours
in the light by which my spirit's born:
you
are my sun, my moon, and all my
stars."

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it."
Lorenzo, Act V, Scene 1
William Shakespeare
1564 - 1616
English Poet and Playwright
Widely Regarded as the Greatest Writer in the English Language
and the World's Pre-eminent Dramatist.
Often Called England's National Poet and the "Bard of Avon."

Where were you in the 60's when BLUE MOON was a hit?
I was a Senior at Liberty High School
in Liberty, Missouri, in 1967.
We slow-danced to BLUE MOON at the
Friday night dances at the dance hall above the
Mattingly's Five & Dime Store
on the square in Liberty, Missouri.
