Well, this is what we should do: We all should step outside our front doors at the second hour past the time that darkness has settled – on the night of the full Moon – at the top of the hour, and celebrate the full Moon together. Sort of a global, Full Moon Kirtan. Don’t worry you won’t get lost, just let the wind guide you.
\nHAVE YOU HUGGED YOUR MOON TODAY?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Moon will be 100% Full: Saturday * August 13, 2011 * 10:57 A.M. Las Vegas time.<\/p>\n

From Western Washington University<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u201cAmerican Indians gave names to each of the full moons to keep track of the passing year. The names are associated with the entire month until the next full moon occurs. Since a lunar month averages 29 days, the dates of the moons change from year to year. Here are titles most closely associated with calendar months.\u201d <\/p>\n

Two Native tribes are mentioned here – click the WWU link to access more information.<\/p>\n

According to Western Washington University the Algonquin term for August\u2019s moon is: \u201cmicheenee kesos<\/strong>\u201d or \u201cwhen indian corn is edible<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

I couldn’t find a Navajo word for this moon. According to Western Washington University the Comanche (Southern Plains) name for August\u2019s Moon is: “tahma mua<\/strong>” or \u201csummer moon<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

From The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/a><\/strong>
\n\u201cHistorically, the Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to the recurring full Moons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEach full Moon name was applied to the entire month in which it occurred. These names, and some variations, were used by the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac, August\u2019s Moon is called: The Full Sturgeon Moon<\/strong>. “Some Native American tribes knew that the sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this full Moon. Others called it the “Green Corn Moon <\/strong>” or the “Grain Moon<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"Link<\/a>
Creator of THE POWER CHORD<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Writing about Native Americans prompted me to include the following links<\/strong> to a truly great Link, LINK WRAY,<\/strong> that is – The FATHER OF EDGY, ELECTRIC, EAR-SCRATCHING ROCK & ROLL.
\nFred Lincoln “Link” Wray Jr (May 2, 1929 \u2013 November 5, 2005)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minimalist electric-guitar strummer, Link Wray was an All-American, Native-American, innovative, Rock & Roll founder of rough-tough, scratchy, glaring, guitar-technique – featuring THE POWER CHORD – and it was as powerful as the sound of a chain-saw cutting through a Hollywood night. His breakthrough, ground-breaking monster hit from 1958 (with His Ray Men) RUMBLE<\/strong> is perhaps the genesis of Rock & Roll power-guitar on steroids. Link Wray defines R&R cool… <\/p>\n

“Part Shawnee Indian, Wray frequently spoke of his ancestry in performances and interviews. Three of the songs he performed bear the names of American Indian tribes: “Shawnee”, “Apache”, and “Comanche.” “Apache” was an instrumental composed by Jerry Lordan, which became a hit in the UK for The Shadows in 1960. Wray recorded a cover of the song 30 years later, which by then was also associated with everyone from The Ventures to the Incredible Bongo Band” more from WIKI<\/a><\/p>\n

LVBC note<\/strong>: The WIKI page downplays the fact that a guy by the name of J\u00f8rgen Ingmann<\/strong> [a musician from Copenhagen, Denmark] recorded Apache<\/strong> in 1961, which climbed to #2 on the US charts, the only charts that really matter, according to some. Apache was among the first records to use sophisticated electronic recording techniques, if not the first. An afterthought reminds me that Santo and Johnny’s<\/strong> SLEEPWALK<\/a><\/strong> preceded APACHE<\/strong> by a few years (1959.) Sleepwalk is probably my favorite all-time guitar instrumental.<\/p>\n

Also from WIKI<\/strong>
\n“Wray served a hitch in the US Army and was a veteran of the Korean War, where he contracted tuberculosis that ultimately cost him a lung. His doctors told him that he would never sing again, so Link concentrated on his heavy guitar work. Despite this, on his rare vocal numbers he displays a strong voice and a range equivalent to that of Clarence “Frogman” Henry’s.”<\/p>\n

Here’s the complete song from the 45 (45 RPM record) with minimal video:
