Bon Les Feuilles Mortes

Or, Happy Autumn Leaves!


Yes, Summer is officially over, and we move into Autumn, with today's Autumnal Equinox


The First Day of Fall.





It seemed like we had a terribly short Summer, and a rain-soaked one as well, so, here's hoping we have a nice, mild (perhaps, occasionally, crisp) Fall season.


And, who better to take us into this, but the great Mile Davis


Autumn leaves - Miles Davis





And, we have a vocal, from the man who introduced the song;


Yves Montand - Les Feuilles Mortes





And, one of our personal favorites, from the late, great Eva Cassidy


Eva Cassidy - Autumn Leaves

Happy Autumn!

Somewhat apropos, for the first day of Autumn, up here in the Northeast.

A cool, damp, dark day.

So many things to start falling this week ...

Leaves, of course, but also the economy ... Stumblin' Bumblin' John McCain (the drumroll, to the first debate Friday evening).

With all that in mind, take a break and groove to the classic tune, 'Autumn Leaves'

We've chosen the Eva Cassidy rendition, and, if you're not hip to Eva Cassidy, get hip to Eva Cassidy.
