[78-L] Of Moons and Bad Men

[David Lennick]

Okay..in no particular order, it was Prayer, The Bad in Every Man and It's Just 
That Kind Of A Play before it finally became Blue Moon.

Rodgers also recycled a song that didn't make it into Mississippi, called 
something like "Pedro, You Are My Heart"..it became Johnny One Note.
