Recorded at Alex Mastronardi Studio December 19, 2022, Big Moon Rising is a song I started in 1977 and put the final touches on in 2022 (I'm a slow learner...). It features, well, me. But also the great guitar playing of Fred Guignion, bass and backup vocals of Alex Mastronardi, percussionist Arien Villegas and Gabriela Ruiz on cello.

Lyrics

Big moon rising
The trees are alive
Bees in the hive
My sweet sweet honey
By my side

Deer in the wood
They’re quietly hiding
Fish is frying
All is good

It’s getting cool now
The fishes and flies
Have all closed their eyes
Crickets singing
To say goodnight

We’re here today
With the wind and the stars
These hours are ours
The world is now

La la la…I’m never going to say goodbye
La la la…I’m never going to say goodbye

(Bridge)

La la la…I’m never going to say goodbye
