What if a picture of the moon can never be enough? What if it is just a cheap substitute? What if a cheap substitute is all I can offer? Layers, my friends, layers!!

lyrics

Take a picture of the moon above
In May or June
Then you can make love morning, night or noon
By the light of that same old moon.

So take a picture of the moon on high
When it's in sight
Then you can stay dry on a rainy night
When you feel like you'd like to spoon.

And you'll have
The proper atmosphere for cuddling someone
(Someone)
Just take that little photograph
You can laugh and laugh
At the blazing sun.

This Year's Kisses
by Brooks Prumo Orchestra

supported by 18 fans who also own “Take A Picture of the Moon”

The laid-back groove of the Brooks Prumo Orchestra hits the sweet spot. This is fine swing without any try-hard hype. The studio mix is balanced, and it hops and slides like music should (unlike some other contemporary jazz). "Out of Nowhere" is outstanding: inspired arrangement, knockout playing, genuine emotion. The vocal numbers get better with every listen, and "Blue Lester" has about it a certain sunburn-on-your-skin mint julep nighttime ease. jakespatz
