Get Out, Get Under The Moon
August 2, 2020
Because it looks like rain a-coming for the actual full moon, I happened to catch it in the phase of Almost. To follow, a random collection of moonspiration I had building up, along with the shots from my telephoto lens. This is the best I can do with my equipment…
I went through a period of time when I listened to music from the 1920’s. This was one of the songs I liked–Helen Kane’s version of Get Out Get Under the Moon. Though since I have learned that Helen Kane, who many believed to be the inspiration for the cartoon character Betty Boop, was really knocking off Harlem singer and performer Baby Esther Jones.
The truth of the matter…
Calvin β€οΈ … before automobile decal-makers stole him for petty me-this/you-that-ism involving urination.
Silent film—figures I have a weirdo friend that is into it to obsessive levels. This is a pretty famous one. Amazing to think that this was made in 1902.
No one but the vehicles I’ve driven know how many times I have played this song, full blast, in the darkness. Seat swaying, air-playing the wrong instruments.
Hey moon, come back soon. π
