Remember Movember

Piano Concerto in A Minor, Edvard Grieg, Columbia Masterworks, 1945Poor old November gets a bad rap from writers born in the northern hemisphere. Alexander Pushkin, in Eugene Onegin, writes: A tedious season they await/Who hear November at the gate.

It’s certainly a windy picture that’s been chosen for my November calendar page. We’ve had a very windy October here in Melbourne – we’re hoping for some improvement as we near to summer. I like the notion here though, sailing away on the breeze of a piano concerto (although let’s hope it doesn’t bring as much hayfever as October has). Or, even better, dancing away the blues with some boogie-woogie.

Boogie Woogie, Various, Columbia Masterworks, 1942Happy November folks. Or, if you’re here in Australia, remember it’s Movember. (I can’t believe it’s not listed on the Wikipedia entry on November – how remiss.) I’m looking forward to seeing some enormous moustaches on the street this month.
