Just bliss. Thanks for taking me there, Richard. Having a good old (happy) yearn now. (I did not know this beautiful song, but I'm listening to it now - Ella F - and have added it to my New York playlist!)

It always brings a smile to my face when I see that you enjoyed something I've written, Marnie!

Richard, you capture the emotions that come with the fall so well. Your love of the City comes through with every sentence. Nostalgia, longing but also the enjoyment of walking around in the crips air and getting to wear different clothes again. I love this piece and I love the song. My favorite version of it is on Bird with strings.

So glad you enjoyed it, Olivier! You're such a generous responder. What is "on Bird with strings?" You mean Charlie Parker?

Sorry for the slow response. Yes, I meant that Charlie Parker with Strings has a beautiful version of Autumn in New York.

A lovely tribute to our beloved city. Although to me, Fall means hikes in deep forests with leaves raining down, I do remember how delightful the City is once Summer's heat is broken.
