When Kim Stockwood met with jazz great, Bill King, in 2016, she had already sifted through dozens of old standards and had a handful of songs she wanted to explore with him. As the pair spent time together, Kim\u2019s vision for a record of standards developed, yet she still struggled with a couple of songs. Songs that weren\u2019t standards that she felt should be. Songs that she wanted to sing and that she wanted the world to hear.<\/p>\n

With the passing of her mentor, Ron Hynes, Kim decided that she must take the plunge, and she recorded Ron\u2019s \u201cSometimes The Moon\u201d. Kim\u2019s relationship with Ron began when she first started singing in St. John\u2019s in the early \u201890\u2019s. Out of the blue, Ron called her and invited her to demo the song. It was a memorable moment for the new singer. She\u2019d never met Ron but she was already in awe of his talent. It was the beginning of a long and close friendship. Ron never released \u201cSometimes the Moon\u201d but Kim and Ron often performed it together. On one of these occasions, it was recorded live. Ron\u2019s resulting guitar track anchors the new recording, allowing them to perform it one last time together. Kim\u2019s desire to do Ron\u2019s song justice compelled her to ask Ben Mink to play violin on the song and the result is a stunning version of \u201cSometimes The Moon\u201d that Ron would be proud of.<\/p>\n
