Grace Notes: Full Moon

full.jpgDid you know that tonight brings us the first full moon of 2010? With a forecast of clear skies, you should be able to see the fine features on the moon. It is also known as the wolf moon, a term derived from Native American culture from the concept that hungry wolves howled at the moon during the frigid winter weather. Since the perigee coincides with a full moon, the moon will be markedly bigger and brighter.

To honor this event, here are some oldtime favorites that will make you long for the moon:

Alpert, Herb. Rocket to the Moon

Coleman, Ornette. Moon Inhabitants

McDonald, Audra. Baby Moon

Silvester, Victor. Old Devil Moon

Sinatra, Frank. Fly Me to the Moon

Sting. Sister Moon

Williams, Andy. Moon River
