Do you know how many “moons” there are? Wolf Moon, Blue Moon, Flower Moon, Thunder Moon, Sturgeon Moon . . . wait . . . what?
Anyway, among the fifteen or so is a Strawberry Moon. What is it you ask? Well, in North America it's the first full moon in June. In Europe they call it the “Hot Moon” - that would be a different song.
I've always been a fan of Nanci Griffith's “Once In A Very Blue Moon” and moons in general. So why not write a moon song! Summer love is a pretty common story (no not the Grease version) , so we used it as the setting for the story.
