As summer fades away we find ourselves passing through the Autumnal Equinox, marking the shift from the Summer to the Fall or Autumn season. October is the first full month when we face the realities that mark the impending end of the year. Soon the weather will change and before we know it we'll be facing the holiday season. Many a song have been penned with this time of year in mind reflecting the change in daily character often with a relaxed transitional vibe. In this hour we will reflect on the coming of Autumn, the emergence of October, and dig the sounds of artists paying homage to the change of season.
