Blue moon of Kentucky.(Look at Louisville)(Brief article)
In 1989, the General Assembly passed KRS 2.100, designating the song "Blue Moon of Kentucky" as Kentucky's official state bluegrass song. It was written in 1947 by William Smith "Bill" Monroe. Other entertainers that have included it as repetoire on their albums include Patsy Cline, Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs.

Usually, a moon's cycle lasts 29 1/2 days, called the moon's synodic period. During the months of the year, excepting February, it is possible that a full moon could appear twice. When this rare occurence happens, about once every two to three years, it is called a "blue moon." The next "blue moon" occurs in December 2009.
