September brings us Bay Areans an interesting twist in the seasonal conundrum that much of California is used to. As the days are getting shorter, the fog tends to subside and Bay Area water is still too cool, yet calm. This is what’s coined as “Indian Summer”. Summer weather is never better here, however for many us, Sept. means fall. Our minds are engaged for another shift, school is back in session yet, the outside is calling. Evening daylight is fleeting and we just want to hold on to that summer feeling a bit longer . . . sometimes music helps.
