Today we continue our annual tour of the summer sky at night in song. After last week’s show with songs about the moon, this week we are joined by some lovely singers and musicians bringing us classic songs about the stars. This was a favourite theme with songwriters, who produced many songs about the stars, often for Broadway and Hollywood. Enjoy our visit to the night sky in music!
