"Why Should the Devil Have the Moon" -- Original Jazz Riff
https://youtu.be/A3zt173jD0I

Going the long way to how this jazz riff comes to be ... There are two things that are lovely things to do with me, but for the person doing them, they always backfire:

1. Tell me what I can't do, but you're not God, and so you said it, but don't have the power to enforce it

2. Tell me that who I am is too much or this or that ... but you're not God, and so didn't make me or measure me 

Both No. 1 and No. 2 relate to people meeting us and taking a position that they are better than us and they can access things we are not allowed to have ... whatever the "moon" is, they don't think we should reach it ... but it was the devil who first tried to usurp God's place over all creation, so, when people come at us like this, guess who they are REALLY representing in trying to usurp all that authority?

(Now you know where all this jealous energy in the world is coming from, and why people can get ALL OUT OF POCKET trying to pull other people down)

I make it my business to stand my ground and do and be what it is God has given me to do and be, and generally, the folks in the devil's spot get shown up as I end up right where I am supposed to be!

Oftentimes when I am creating, my mind goes over into all three areas of art I work in ... music composition and writing are strongly linked.  So, when our friends in the Ink Well community put out a spooky full moon prompt, and with Halloween coming up, I thought of the so-called devil moon, an interesting phenomenon in which, during a lunar eclipse, everything is hidden but the very edges of the moon .. if it is the bottom edge, the resulting visual resembles glowing upturned horns ... thus, the "devil moon."

Which of course raised this question for me: "Whose big idea was it to even think of letting the devil have the moon?"

I have not done enough research to have an answer from tradition, but it's a NO for me, which gives you the orientation of the story I wrote right there.

Why a jazz tune?  In the Ink Well Community I am doing a series of tales about a family from Black French Louisiana -- the Dubois family, part of the Lofton County Universe that stretches from here on Hive to Amazon.  

Of course, if you know your jazz history, you already know Louisiana is the birthplace of jazz, specifically Dixieland jazz ... think Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, the famous New Orleans second line ... some of the world's greatest music!

So, as I was conceiving this story idea, the jazz riff came to me as well ... something Louis Armstrong would sing, and then scat, and then get on the trumpet with ... not a lot of words, but not always necessary ... this was not a whole song, but a mood to go with a story of an humble young man in old Louisiana who is not supposed to be able to have the girl of his dreams because the son of a feared family skilled in ancient, powerful practices common to Louisiana is also intent upon having her, and is willing to use all his powers to get his way ... but, see No. 1 and No. 2 above, and my explanation to understand how that contest is going to come out ... or, feel free to enjoy the longer story this riff goes with!

Glad you enjoyed it ... a lot of people messed up and showed their WHOLE behinds to give us that little riff ... thank you to ALL THE IMPS of you-know-who, who failed in EVERYTHING but calling on God, standing firm, and heading straight for the moon anyway (and, writing a great story in the Ink Well on the same line)!

(Spooky) Full Moons, Lunar Eclpises, Halloweens and... Devil's Moon. Soooo many different names for that one single moon, it's quite funny, to be honest :) Am not too much familiar with where things come from. But I do know in a hippie artsy village just outside my city of Amsterdam, they always celebrate full moon. I suppose this is also a heathens/pagans tradition since I think this is what the history is of what has become the experience of 'Ruigoord' (https://ruigoord.nl/)... that's the hippie village I was referencing.

Beautiful singing by the way! Short but powerful!

Oh, the names for the moon are LEGION... I had my choice of phenomena to choose from! Thank you for the tip on Ruigoord ... I am somewhat familiar with Nordic and Celtic traditions, and that video showed me quite a lot of things going on ... another angle to this thing to consider!

Glad you enjoyed the riff, and thank you again!

OMG, your post is one of the most interesting things I have heard & read today!! Why should the devil have the moon 😅 is a perfect mood (as you state it is not a whole song) :) 
Love your voice and the whole video, listened to it five times at least! I think Luis Armstrong would be jealous 😁 on your talent and this creativity you have got! I can hear the song in the way you described... hm, yes, he could have his trumpet solo, but you should still have the lead and main role in this song @deeanndmathews ! 

>not a lot of words, but not always necessary

🙌🙌

Louis Armstrong would not need to be jealous of anyone who ever lived ... his gift was just that big, so big that he is still making room for people like me to expand the legacy ... I have made room here, though, to sing and let him play, and of course that was what I was hearing in my head and trying to convey ... thank you for noticing!
