Autumn is in the air!

Well, maybe not, but it will certainly be ON the air, this morning on WPRB, as we drag Jack Frost kicking and screaming back from his vacation in the Bahamas, with a playlist evocative of changing, falling, and/or decaying leaves. Sure, it’s supposed to hit 75 degrees, but why deprive ourselves of the bittersweet pleasures of crisp apples, November woods, and wild geese?

Clipper Erickson, piano, will swing by the studio around 9:00 to talk about his upcoming concert, which will take place at Salem United Church of Christ in Doylestown, on Sunday at 3 p.m. The program will include Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Clipper, who is on the faculties of Westminster Conservatory of Music and Temple University, is hot off a recital at the Steinway Salon at New York’s Symphony Space. He is always up to something (he’ll be appearing on another concert at 1867 Sanctuary at Ewing in a little over a week), so I’m sure there will be lots to talk about and plenty of music to enjoy.

Bundle up and grab a rake; we disdain all leaf-blowers, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and at wprb.com. We make like a tree and leave, on Classic Ross Amico.
