“In Fall You’re Sad and You Never Know Why”

St. Mary’s Lake

 As beautiful as the fall season may be and as much as I like it, when the days begin to get shorter and the weather shifts from cool to cold, I roll into a melancholy, somewhat sadden frame of mind.   Fall is still my favorite time of year but like everything good, there is a little darkness in it too.

Whenever I enter this bluesy zone, Steve Erwin’s great tune In Fall (below) pops into my head.  With  Danny Gatton playing guitar on the tune, it just deepens my melancholy even more because I think about how Danny went out of here:

 Here is Steve describing the song:

Danny (pictured here) does some great fills throughout the song but in particular his solo starting at the 3:00 mark is as Steve notes “wonderful and wistful.”
Note – look for movie titled The Humbler about Danny set to debut soon (click here.)
