Friday Faves 71 - Autumn

Well, it's that time of year again when the leaves start turning, the temperatures begin to cool down and everyone and everything starts getting ready for winter. That's right! It's almost Autumn! Just one day away! What a lovely time of year, too!

We'll start out our Autumn shop hopping with an old favorite of mine, and, in fact, this song is about to get a makeover in the new musical version of Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds. The new artist who will be singing it will be Gary Barlow of Take That fame. I'd love to share both versions with you but, at this writing, it's not available just yet. But you can look for the re-release of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, The New Generation on 12 November 2012.

Just for fun, here's the The New Generation's album trailer with a healthy nod to Steampunk fans.

And without any further ado, Forever Autumn sung by the original artist from the 1978 version of Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, Justin Hayward:

That's all for this week's Friday Faves. Please, stop by again for Music Monday when I'll be showcasing the music of Coldplay and Tuesday Tutorial when we'll be learning how to decoupage with paper without all those pesky bubbles and wrinkles.

Until then, have a great weekend everyone and take care out there!
