Comment:

Tonight, Thursday, May 31, we in North America will see the second full moon in the calendar month. This is commonly referred to as a blue moon. It is a relatively rare occurrence, whence the phrase "once in a blue moon."
Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote the song "Blue Moon" for the 1934 movie Manhattan Melodrama. Rodgers despised the Marcels' best-selling doo-wop version (#1 on both the US and UK charts) so much that he took out ads in the music papers urging people not to buy it.
Interspersed here are seven versions of the R&H number, each interpretation different enough, I hope, so that the mix is not cloying.
