#FridayTunes A long one, but a beautiful song by Van Morrison. AUTUMN SONG Leaves of brown they fall to the ground And it's here, over there leaves around Shut the door, dim the lights and relax What is more, your desire or the facts Pitter patter the rain falling down Little glamor sun coming round Take a walk when autumn comes to town Little stroll past the house on the hill Some more coal on the fire will do well And in a week or two it'll be Halloween Set the page and the stage for the scene A little game the children will play And as we watch them while time away Look at me and take my breath away, yeah You'll be smiling- eyes beguilding And the song on the breeze Will call my name out and your dream Chestnuts roasting outside as you walk With your love by your side The old accordion man plays mellow and bright And you go home in the crispness of the night Little later friends will be along And if you feel like joining the throng Just might feel like singing Autumn song Just may feel like singing Autumn song You'll be smiling Eyes beguilding And the song on the breeze Calls my name out in your dream Chestnuts roasting outside As you walk with your love by your side And the old accordion plays mellow and bright And you go home in the crispness of the night Little later friends will be along And if you feel like joining the throng Just might feel like singing Autumn song Autumn song Artist: Van Morrison Songwriter: Van Morrison Released: 1973 Album: Hard Nose the Highway

#FridayTunes Kris Kristofferson was an American country music singer, songwriter and actor. He passed away on September 28, 2024. In tribute to him, here is a performance of “Me and Bobby McGee" which he wrote in 1969. The song would become a number 1 hit with Janice Joplin's release in 1971. Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained Took us all away to New Orleans I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna And was blowin' sad while bobby sang the blues With those windshield wipers slappin' time And Bobby clappin' hands we finally sung up every song that driver knew Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Standin' right beside me Lord through every thing I done Every night she kept me from the cold Then somewhere near Salinas lord, I let her slip away Lookin' for the home, I hope she'll find And I've trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin' ain't worth nothin', but it's free Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues Feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee Me and Bobby McGee
