September already? Well, it is a wonderful month. It brought me my grandmother, my sister and my niece and my granddaughter and my uncle, so, I kind of like it! And, now, cooler weather will begin, fall flowers, like asters and mums will begin to appear everywhere and before we know it, September, too, will be a memory. Although it will be gone as soon as August was, let's enjoy it while it's here.
Jerry Orbach, as you Law and Order fans all know, was quite an accomplished guy. Before L&O he was a Broadway star, known especially for his role in the Fantasticks. Ed is a big fan of his. According to something Ed read about him, he wrote a poem to his wife every day of their married life. That made him pretty special without all those public accolades. So, for now, just enjoy Jerry singing the song he made famous and enjoy your September.

TRY TO REMEMBER
Music: Harvey SchmidtLyrics:

Premiere: Tuesday, May 3, 1960
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.Follow, follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow, follow, follow, follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That no one wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
That love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember, and if you remember,
Then follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
Without a hurt the heart is hollow.
Deep in December, it's nice to remember,
The fire of September that made us mellow.
Deep in December, our hearts should remember
And follow.
Have a great September and a great day, everyone!
Love,
Suz
