   First post to WordPress forums...

   Any ideas on why this would work:
   

   function add_header_scripts() {
   	echo '<script src="http://localhost:8888/wp-content/themes/myTheme/myScript.js" type="text/javascript"></script>';
   }
   
   add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

   But this does not:
   

   function add_header_scripts() {
   	wp_enqueue_script('month_angel', 'http://localhost:8888/wp-content/themes/myTheme/myScript.js');
   }
   
   add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

   Code is in functions.php.

   I have also tried supplying values for all possible parameters of wp_enqueue_scripts including using null for $ver to avoid problems with appending version numbers to the script url.

   Also, I know not to hardcode the url. I will use bloginfo once this problem is solved.

   Thanks in advance!

   Solved it. For some reason, you can't use the wp_head action. This is very unintuitive. You would think that since you include external scripts via <script> tags in the head, you would use the wp_head action.

   I changed:
   add_action('wp_head', 'add_header_scripts');

   To:
   add_action('init', 'add_header_scripts');
