Where would the great lyricists of American Popular Song´s
golden age have been without those shiny images that light up our sky and fill
the Universe? "Lost In The Stars" perhaps? "Reaching For The
Moon?" Keeping their "Sunny Side Up?" The inspiration provided
by nature´s wonders beyond our world is as limitless and boundlessly expressive
as the Cosmos. The overriding "guiding stars" of those bygone days
were romance and optimism. The hard realities of living are still magnificently
tempered by these songs that reach out, rise above, side-step, imagine, hope
for the best. From Tin Pan Alley´s early days of Moon/Croon/June/Spoon to the
sophisticated heights of American Pop´s heyday mid-twentieth century, the Sun,
the Moon, the Stars and the Heavens continue to fill our hearts with song and
let us sing forever more!
