Aislaby Moon

[John Wild]

At the recent Whitby folk week, some friends were staying a few miles out at the village of Aislaby. After a pleasant evening hosted by them, when we were leaving, there was an amazing red moon. Back home soon after, I found this tune emerging, and I had to call it "Aislaby moon". I did get a photo of the moon, though it is not professional standard.

 

I am trying to attach here the photo and the tune. I hope this works.

 

I hope this ABC transxcription is correct:

Hi John

I saw that as well - I think we all did, it was amazing. Came out of the Metropole and there it was - thought it was the beer at first! I took a pic on the ipad but it's a lot worse than your picture.....

cheers

We were out at Aislaby several miles ouside Whitby, where some friends had rented a house for the week. there was minimal artficial light to get in the way. I did not think my picture was particularly good. It need more zoom for a close up.

 

Did you like the tune?
