Helen found this recording of AUTUMN LEAVES played by Roger Willliams.  See if you can couple my pictures of autumn leaves on the fifth Line with

the tinkling piano keys.  It is Credited as one of great piano concerts of all time.   Thanks Helen, Tommy , your dad,, would be proud of you

It’s not hard to find Roger’s “Autumn leaves” but just to select which version of the archived you want to hear. I chose this one, so as not to be up all night, although it lacks the purity and undoctored sound of his original. Somewhere in my basement lurks several versions on each of 33 1/3 record, cassette tape and CD. Thanks for the memory and my first awareness of its origin and history , along with the gorgeous autumn drive. Keep on “tripping”

EVERY  year we have a chance to celebrate our changing seasons.  Each season

chances dramatically with he autumn being most dramatic.  So here is my tribute to

the falling leaves with pictures taken on a slow drive down a country road between 

 Highway 401 and Highway 24.   No traffic today.  Perfect for casual photography.

 

 

I HAD NOT expected Birthday wishes but was moved by so many nice notes.   Thank you.  Your notes encourage me to try and

keep this daily blog gong .  There will be a few skipped days for reasons like this trip down the fifth Line.

 

For most of you living in Southern Ontario all you have to do is look out he window or go for a casual walk.   For others, like Australian

David Skeoch, here  is a reminder why many Ontarions do not go to Florida for the winter. for those who do it might be a  good

idea to save  this email. .. and enjoy both worlds while sipping a pina colada (sp).

 

When I was a teen ager there was a pianist whose tinkling  AUTUMN LEAVES 

reman in my memory bank tooth’s days    Must seem if I can find him.  See if

you can find the piece and play it as you watch this cavalcade.  Hint – first name was Roger I think.
