Moonlight Dream

 

Written by John Stewart

 

Whew – what a great song ‘Moonlight Dream’ has become!  John published it first on the “Rocket Roy in the Real World” cassette, Crow, 1993, re-released as a CD with additional songs - “Rocket Roy in the Real World Plus”, Neon Dreams, 1999.

Already a very good song.  Now it has resurfaced with some different chords and a new chorus (or bridge) on the November 2003 release “Tanforan”, Neon Dreams, and it is truly beautiful.  I learned it right away and haven´t stopped playing it since.
