music and late summer

Late summer can be its own season, resting between the energy of high midsummer days and the quiet turn toward autumn that's coming. Time for reflection, time for considering new directions.

Emily Smith stepped outside her house in the southwestern part of Scotland one summer evening and found all those things. She caught them in a fine song called Sunset Hymn, which is on her recording Too Long Away.
