It’s been one of the warmest summers on record up here in the Northeast. The change to Autumn weather will be most welcome. The Fall is my favorite time of the year. It takes so long to arrive and then stays for only a few short weeks before Winter pushes it aside with ice and snow and frigid temperatures. This week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine we’ll hear some of my favorite music in honor of the Autumnal Equinox which arrived on Sept 23rd.
