Preston, Thanks for the memories. I was at a Bill Monroe concert back in the 60s when he sang this. If anybody wants to hear the original, go to http://www.billmonroe.com/ Nothing like it. He was one of a kind.

Last night we did have a clear view of the huge rising full Blue Moon. Reminds me of that old Bill Monroe classic---- Blue Moon Of Kentucky lyrics Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on one moonlight night Stars shining bright Whisper on high Love said goodbye Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue (As released by Patsy Cline, August 5, 1963) I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright ( From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bill-monroe-lyrics/blue-moon-of-kentucky-lyrics.html ) Whispered on high, love said goodbye I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Well, it was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright Whispered on high, your lover said goodbye I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin' Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Left me blue Preston in Outer Browder about 30 miles from Rosine, KY, the birthplace of Bill Monroe. A little star and moon watching has always been a part of my camping fun when on caving adventures.
