Ep 261: Autumn Leaves — Autumn, Chlorophyll, Les Feullies Mortes, and a Warning

Rafe has noticed that it is currently autumn and that means changing leaves and all that.  The discussion takes us through the miracle of changing seasons, chlorophyll and photosynthesis, French songs and English versions, life changes, loss, Momento Mori, and hope for Spring.(This show's bumper music is excerpts from Eva Cassidy's near-perfect rendition of Autumn Leaves from her CD Songbird.  This album is a must for any serious collector of standards of the American song book sung with unparalleled warmth and emotion.)*****As always, you can reach the Buf at [email protected]*****As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.  As such, some of you have asked how you can help out.  Well, here's the answer: support us on Buy Me a Coffee:https://buymeacoffee.com/bufnagleOn this page, you can do a really nice thing like send us a couple dollars to help cover the cost of recording and hosting and microphones and research and all that.  Any little bit really helps!  Thank you in advance!!!
