September 2008 Almanac
This Month: ‘Try to Remember’ the Perfect Month
“Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain grew yellow.”
If you’re a true baby boomer born in the mid to late 1940s, you probably remember these Harvey Schmidt lyrics made popular by Tom Jones in 1960. If you lived in Maine, you probably felt certain the State of Maine inspired this lyricist, and he surely had made a pilgrimage here.
