Rodgers and Hart's “Blue Moon”, written in 1934, has been covered by so many great artists in so many distinctive styles that I shall not even attempt to list them.   The song was written in 4:4 and all the versions I have been able to find are recorded in 4:4.
Somewhere, and I do not remember where or by whom, I heard a version in 6:8 - if anyone can enlighten me, PLEASE DO!   At any rate, as a soloist, I would do the song in 6:8 because it just swung so naturally in that meter.
More recently while comparing the 4:4 and 6:8 versions of the song, I began to wonder if it could also be done convincingly in 7:8.   Hence this recording.
It consistes of 3 iterations, one in 8:8, one in 7:8 and one in 6:8.   To give the recording more depth and consistency, I asked Dan (ProgRockDan) Lockhart to check it out and add whatever he thought the track could use.   He very kindly, and promptly, did so.   Many thanks Dan!
The lead vocal, the rhythm guitar and the bass guitar are mine, Dan added percussion, the choral background and the instrumental orchestration.
At 6 and a half minutes, this is a long and somewhat repetitive track, but, those with an interest in vocal phrasing and comparative ambience might find some reward in listening right through to the end.

Dear SoundCloud friends.  This is the place where I locate my country, bluegrass, folk, jazz, and blues oriented songs:  roots music.  You will find this music rougher and not as polished as the music I place elsewhere.  This is where I will host music with a more wooden feel.  As always I am very interested in collaborating with my fellow musicians.

I encourage you to visit the sites of the musicians with whom I have collaborated on this page:
