Who Wrote Blue Moon?

Was the iconic song “Blue Moon written by famed duo Rodgers and Hart, or was it penned by a young, unknown aspiring songwriter? The podcast, Who Wrote Blue Moon? will seek to solve this mystery.

The question has haunted Liz Roman Gallese, a former journalist, who, for years has been searching for the lost legacy of her father, Edward W. Roman. All her life, the story had been told in the family that her father, Ed, wrote “Blue Moon,” sent it off to a song broker, then years later heard it on the radio. . .and sued two of the most prominent songwriters in the world. 

Who Wrote Blue Moon? will look into what is known and unknown about “Blue Moon” and the remarkable quest of a daughter searching through the history of Troy, New York, for the young man who would later become her father. 

Six podcast episodes of approximately 30 minutes each.
