September keeps moving up my list of favorite months for a number of reasons. Weather turns cool or at least cooler. Labor Day is always a peaceful sort of holiday. Major League Baseball’s pennant races heat up. The NFL and college football seasons begin. Locally, there are festivals, farm mazes and County fairs. Too, in general, things start to slow down some as the days get shorter with the first day of fall on the 23rd. Overall then, September is one of the more pleasant months of the year.
Birthday-wise in the Buzzy family we’ve got my Godmother Peggy McMurray celebrating on 4 September. Duncan Lepper has his on 5 September. On the 6th El-Chucko Mettam and Pat Woodburn celebrate theirs; Jim Gray on the 8th. David “Clutch” Raley on 9/11; Gary “Chop Chop” Norris’ birthday is on the 15th; Lou Gentry’s is on the 17th; Joe Cullison celebrates on the 22nd followed by Bobby Wright on the 23rd; Lori McKay and Donna Wheatley celebrate theirs’ on the 25th. And to conclude a very busy birthday month, Joan Bean celebrates her day on the 27th.
Here is a September song for you from Rod who wrote it based on a true story (click here.) If you don’t recognize the song’s intro that’s because when it was played on the radio, DJ’s would often skip over it to save time.
