The Moon Just Turned Blue I just loved the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's version on " Symphonium Dream", which I think is the best album they ever made AFTER "Uncle Charlie". I can't believe the lack of information on this song on the web. it was written by J.D. Souther and is one of the most fun songs to play and sing around. Anyone know where a MP3 can be down loaded?

Another NGDB fan! Yay! I completely agree with your assessment of "(Symphonion)Dream". Don't know about mp3s but I have the vinyl (a bit worn) and could tape it for you.

Cheers,
Michael

Count me in the NGDB appreciation society and that Symphonium Dream is their best album (even better than Uncle Charlie).
