I've spent the last few weeks working on this song and got it done just in time to release it on my birthday.... I hope you like it! Special thanks to Jim Krause for the song title idea, which catalyzed the creative process.
Thanks for sharing that Melissa. I'm totally digging the chord progression and lyrics. 'Course I am welcoming autumn with open arms here!
So, are you a September baby too?

Thanks for sharing it with us, Melibee. As I already mentioned to you, it is surely my new favorite of yours. It deserves a proper multi-track arrangement and recording treatment, in my opinion.

Thanks, Kira.... all in due time! I have a huge backlog of newer songs that I need to record, and am hoping I can get caught up with some other projects around here so that I will be free to do the ones I really want to do.
Noel, I'm sorry I missed your birthday.... Happy belated!

Lovely.
Reminds me very much of Joni Mitchell.
I'll say it again, lovely song!

Finally got around to listening to your new song. I love it. And I agree with Kira, that would really sound nice done in a studio. It's a strong song.

Lovely Melissa. You and the Comstock sound great! I still do get a kick out of your avatar on here, holding a very familar guitar. Happy autumn to all ... Steve.

Steve, I liked the picture enough to make it my avatar.... I liked playing your guitar too, even though it's not a Ric!
