I' ve asked old acquaintance, Walter Houston, once again, to lead us with his melancholy vocal of "September Song" to set the mood. September is a bittersweet month for many of us.

BOTTLE OF WINE, FRUIT OF THE VINE – Marilyn Armstrong
Tom Paxton - "Bottle of Wine" I've been a Tom Paxton fan forever. He may be one of the greatest writers and singers of folks songs. Ever. He is 80 now, still performing, still living on Long Island in New York. May you live forever, Tom Paxton! You bring my youth back to me!
