We attend to the energy of the Harvest season, bringing us both abundance and anxiety, beautiful rest and restless self-doubt. How are we going to treat all this? Well, one way might be with music, from The Band, The Kinks, Mose Allison, Kinky Friedman, Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Robert Bly, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen.
