Once In A Blue Moon!

  
  I was out looking at the moon last night!
  I heard a lot of talk about it being a "Blue
Moon."  But though it was extremely bright
I never saw it turn blue.
  That got me to wondering where the name
"Blue Moon" came from.
   I first heard it as a DJ back in 1961.
   A group called the "Marcels' had a popular
record called "Blue Moon." It was a "doo-wop
hit!"
   And the moon actually was blue in the
2011 "Smurfs" movie! According to the
story line the "Blue Moon" was a time when
the characters could cross dimensions!
  Wouldn't that be cool!
  "Weather Bob", a Facebook friend and area
weather expert, wrote that the name applies
to the second full moon of a month.
   That makes it rather rare....hence the
suggestion that when something happens
on a "rare occasion"....it happens "Once
in a Blue Moon."
     Anyhow it only happens every two or
three years so if you missed it you'll have
to wait till 2015 or sometime around
then!
    Hope we're all around to see it, sing a
bit of doo-wop,( maybe cross into another
dimension) and that all your NEWS is good!
