Les sanglots longs des violons de l’automne
Blessent mon cœur d’une langueur monotone.

The long sobs of the autumn violins
Wound my heart with a monotonous languor.

Autumn equinox is 830 CDT Tuesday. 2020 was one of my favorite summers ever.

You are blessed.

I know so many friends/family who cannot wait for 2020 to end...with all of the crazy ScamDEMic shutdowns, etc.

I think that there have been blessings/opportunities we may have otherwise missed.

Dinah sings......

The leaves of brown came tumbling down
Remember in September in the rain
The sun went out just like a dying amber
That September in the rain

It’s a beautiful song, along with Moonlight in Vermont, September Song, and other beautiful songs.

I was going to mention on Mark’s page that my favorite version of rendition of this is by Eva Cassidy, and then as I scrolled down I saw that he had included hers.

She was gone too soon.

This song has always been one of my favorites. I have never heard Eva’s rendition. But I am old enough to have heard it I guess. In college, we sang a four song performance to Summer:

Summertime, In the good old Summertime, Its Summertime Summertime Sum Sum Summer time, and Summer’s over, the leaves are all following now. Too bad we left Autumn Leaves out.

I loved her rendition. I’ll have to go on YouTube & see what else I can find by Eva Cassidy.
