The second full moon in any month is conventionally known as a blue moon and there will one tonight.
It's bad news for lovers of sardines and anchovies, they can't be caught on bright nights. Although the association with Manchester City may be unfortunate, Rogers and Hart's Blue Moon is still a classic. There are so many versions to choose from ...
Here's an early one - Belle Baker recorded in 1935:
This is another 1935 version by Greta Keller. Then there is the incomparable Billie Holiday. And here are some outstanding Jazz instrumental versions by Art Blakey and Stephane Grappelli.
But I am in Greece, so I have to finish with Haris Alexiou singing Panselinos.
