28 Jan 02 – Full Moon

Calling The Moon – Dar Williams (the green world, © 2000)

Just went out to gaze at the moon while Moonlight in Vermont played on GLT.  This is a beautiful song about man’s relationship to the moon & vice versa.  Still need a song for S&L…

Dar’s note from the CD: “This came up while I was reading “Drawing Down
The Moon”, by Margo Adler, all about witches, Druids and Pagans in
America.  My favorite group was the Discordians, whose creation story
includes a bowling alley and an exploding monkey, but this song isn’t
about that.”  (4 Mar I just added this note about 3 days ago &
guess what book I saw sitting on the ILL return shelves yesterday when
I stopped in?  That is spookier than Ange Milner…)

2 Mar AM  Getting ready to go to work & letting this play.  “…she comes when the empire falls, and shines on crumbling walls.”  Ancient Roman History class and the Empire there is fast disintegrating also.  Just used the analogy between the Roman Repubic and ours a day or two ago in 2 conversations…  (see notes for Work For Peace)


These notes are from my version of the liner notes.
