Autumn is giving way to winter.

The days are grey and the nights are drawing in. It seems incredible that only a month ago I was wearing shorts. To mark the dead days of November, I thought to play something different. I have picked a classical piece.

Classical music reminds me of school days. It was the only place I ever heard it. But I own some now. This being one of the CD’s I bought as a cheap lot a few years back.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is one of my favourite classical pieces. It is a very popular. Spring is probably the better known than Autumn.

Four Seasons evokes mixed emotions for me. Parts were played my friend Paul’s funeral. I had known him for twenty years as a hard core Black Sabbath fan. I never knew that we shared a liking for this music until he was dead.

Grey thoughts for a grey November afternoon.
