No October would be complete at WDIZ! without Van the Man and a little Moondance from the album of the same name. Another best foray in the history of music… again, according to yours truly.
Hey, a fantabulous night to make romance beneath the cover of October skies…
Hey, cats and kittens, here’s WDIZ!’s fave autumn lullaby courtesy Chrissy and the boys. Dig it.
All of the leaves come down every time babies cry…
All of the leaves come down…
🍂
Cool. Cool. Cool.

Whoa! Local weather forecast is for a high 5°C/41°F tomorrow! Time to get the poor-boy caps and the boots on! Yay! Maybe even a wee bit of fleeting snow on Wednesday?!
Here’s an all-time of all Time and Space. This tune has always been a favourite. Can’t remember it ever not.
The first really crisp weather of the season always puts me In the Mood for Glenn Miller and his orchestra, cats and kittens. Always. Autumn is such a groovy, jazzy Time of year, hey? Won’t be long now, boy, until the snow flies and sticks around for awhile.
One of THE best tunes EVER written. Just ever! As fab-u-lous today as the day it was released on 78 in ’39, baby. Here’s the marvellously mysterious Mr. Miller with In the Mood. Bah bah…
An all Time and Space favourite fall song of the season here at WDIZ!
April Wine. Stand Back. Tonite is a Wonderful Time…
Red and yellow, seasons changin’ gear, oh yeah… Dig it.
Gilded waves heave and sigh
On winds that breathe
Since the beginning
Of Time
As far as I can see
Oceans of it dance,
Romance with me
I wade in and swim
Straight into its heart
Gold envelops my soul
Like so much art
Its untold beards
Tickle my skin
Oh, my goodness
Where to begin

“Reason clears and plants the wilderness of the imagination to harvest the wheat of art.”

The Autumnal Equinox is fast upon us. A most excellent occasion. A dreamy Time of harvest and moons and amber waves of grain… of some great tunes…
I call myself a “wheat-head” I Love the stuff so. I mean, it is some kind of gilded beautiful, hey? I can’t adequately impress upon you how spectacular I think fields of wheat and the prairie are. I just can’t. Words won’t suffice, baby.
It’s symbolic of such a great deal of what I feel is intrinsically important to existence: heart, art, the prairie, farmers (the backbone of society, for food is life), literal and figurative seeds, the myths of Demeter and Ceres… the Autumnal Equinox…
It signals a Time for winding down, giving thanks, preparing for Halloween and the big sleep of winter.
Not much makes me feel more autumn, more Canadian, more prairie, more “wheat-head” than this man and this tune. This is a very sweet, intimate performance by a very, very young Neil appearing on the BBC.
From Harvest, the best selling album of 1972 in the United States (Who knew?!), here’s Heart of Gold…
Harvest, Robert ZĂĽnd 1860
