    Friday there will be a blood red moon lasting about 100
    minutes, centred on the exact time of full moon, which
    will be 20:20 UTC/GMT, so it should be turning red
    around moonrise in the Vatican. (But note that
    the red moon won’t be visible in North America.)

    That reminds me of this song:

    Red Moon (by Bill Bourne, former member of The Tannahill Weavers)

    Oh, the moon rose red this evening
    The moon rose red tonight
    The moon rose red this evening
    Got a whole lot of people just a little bit uptight

    Joseph he was a carpenter
    Had his four kids and a wife
    When the moon rose red this evening
    Joseph was glad he was meek and wise

    Vincent lived in a mansion
    Celebration every night
    When the moon rose red this evening
    I think Mr. Vincent got a little bit uptight

    [Francis] controlled the masses
    He always tried to do everything just right
    When the moon rose red this evening
    I think even [Francis] got a little uptight

    Mary she was a dancer
    In a club down along the strip
    When the moon rose red this evening
    Our little Mary was workin' on a fifty dollar tip

    (The original had John Paul instead of Francis and
    was recorded by Bill Bourne and Shannon Johnson
    on their 1994 album Dear Madonna.)



    We were quite happy to "discover" this trio
    last summer, at a folk fest in Ingersol Ontario.
    Their cd remains close to the top of our stack.
    Some youtube performances can be found.
    Enjoy !

    Yes, they are good. I heard them at last year’s
    Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival.
