In 1980 I bought an LP by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays called "As falls Witchita so falls Wichita Falls". I liked the album a lot, but there was one song that I kept playing a lot, "September 15th". Then over the years I noticed that date coincided with several things that happened to me, 2 very significant ones having to do with women. Others having to do with jobs, etc. The first was 1984 when I met a woman on Sept. 15, not long-lived, only 2-3 months but never forgotten. By around 1990 I noticed a pattern and started listening to the song "September 15th" every Sept. 15th. Then on 9-15-95 I met a woman I'm with to the present day. I still continue to listen to the song every Sept. 15th, usually alone. I think the studio version is the best, but the live version is good too and the only one available at the moment.

From memory I think that was the first ever album I bought by Pat Metheney even though it kind of turned out to be more of a showcase for Lyle Mays.I agree though September 15th is just a fantasticaly moving piece of music.After reading your post Jim I`ll be keeping an eye out for any strange happenings/major events happening later in the day.I did meet my wife in september but I think it was about the 9th or 10th or something.That said I do remember we did`nt hang about moving it on to the next stage so`s to speak.15th sounds more than plausible as far as that was concerned.

Another track I really love from that album is Ozark which I think sounds really good played around christmastime.That said it sounds pretty good at any time for that matter.I think I might play both of those tracks now..You never know I might be in for an early "Christmas present"?...
