Bon les feuilles mortes

By J. Thomas Duffy 

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 (and perhaps occasionally crisp) fall season.

And who better to take us into this but the great Miles 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 my personal favorites, from the late, great Eva Cassidy:

Eva Cassidy - Autumn Leaves
