Autumn music suggestions for The Greetings Programme
Autumn - my favourite of the four seasons. Of course it's unpredictable weather-wise but when else do you get the most glorious colours in all of Natures palette to make up for that. Driving along Queen street the other morning on the way to work - and for once the slow crawl allowed me to appreciate what was going on around me - leaves in gold and yellow swirling like bonfire sparks in the rush-hour wind - amazing. Not so welcome in the rain - those pavements can be a hazard, but who could fail to be inspired by such sights.
With that in mind I began to search for music that belongs to this time of year - the songs that say Autumn in tone and content. They're all there - Moody Blues had Forever Autumn...Eva Cassidy recorded a version of Autumn Leaves and of course Vivaldi's "Autumn" from the Four Seasons. And then I got stuck - so here's where you come in. Which songs remind you of Autumn - maybe it's in the music, or perhaps it's just in the memories that a particular song evokes... a song you heard around that time of year. Let me know and I'll be happy to play it on the show along with why you've chosen it.

You may care to consider Paolo Nutini's Autumn it's a lovely song or the smooth Autumn Leaves by Nat King Cole but for some light relief Autumn Almanac by The Kinks is always good.

Justin Hayward - "Forever Autumn", from Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds"; a track which I don't think we hear often enough.
