…… extra special fall vibes

Gregory has his knee on a chair next to a cafe in the evening

Welcome to the fall.

Touching bases and wondering how you are.

Feel free to drop me a line in the guestbook.

 

It has been an extra special few months in both the country and the world. We have discovered heat waves and floods, lost many who are dear to us, COVID continues to mutate and we head yet again to the polls to see what the future brings. Throughout it all… just remember we are resilient. We’ve been through tough times before. With some introspection and balance we can weather this storm too.

 
 

Summer reunions… and now a change of seasons…. why not enjoy some music while you’re here?

 
Remember to make time for yourself. Enjoy the little things. And while we are in the midst of unprecedented troubles, do not forget to see the beauty around you as well like the autumn leaves and their colors. It’s my hope that my music helps lift your hearts a little. I have been busy with new songs…  rest assured I’ll be releasing them soon. Interesting things have happened… which is always the material for interesting songs.
 
 
 
“The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer. One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider.”
 
~Jane Hirshfield

To put you in the mood of fall, my staff here looked up a recipe for cider pretty close to the way my Abbott family does it. Oh! and my favorite apple? the tart and crisp ones!

 
(thank you https://www.thespruceeats.com/) for allowing us to share.
 
May the “cider” this fall of 2022 remain sweet. 
 

Happy Fall Ya’ll

Stay safe… stay vaccinated.

…… seasons gratitude love

…… seasons gratitude love

Dropping in for a seasonal hello to one and all.

We are all so busy with our lives and spending time on social media we don’t often get the chance to just stop and breathe.
I pray you are as well as can be expected considering the times we are living in.
Fall is here and that means the holidays. I hope good things come from the quiet renewal time of the season. Perhaps we will all finally get that “thing” done that we were putting off… (whatever it is). Maybe we will read that book, listen to that podcast or finally subscribe to the uplifting youtube channel we’ve been meaning to.
 

I am so grateful to all of you who have been enjoying my latest music “Chill” and “Summer in the City”. It’s been a crazy and difficult year for everyone, and I am thankful to be able to continue doing what I love.
 

There is nothing better for an artist than to be appreciated for the kinds of musings that inspire them to create and that are in their heart and mind in the present.
 

As most of you know I am in the studio at the moment. I’m very excited to say I will have some wonderful new songs coming your way in 2022 🌹

Here’s a poem called “Autumn”by Amy Booth (Age 10)

Look at the different coloured leaves,

Swaying gently with the breeze,

Lovely reds, browns and greens,

All waiting to fall from the trees.

When they leave they twist and turn,

Ready to join the masses of fern,

Landing softly on the ground,

You can taste the smell of autumn, all around.

 
That’s it for now
please remember to follow, subscribe and all that jazz

In the meantime, I wish you a blessed holiday season. Keep those you love close… and remember to stay kind.🕯️
 

 As always, I am musically yours

 Gregory🙏🏽

…a quick thanks

I just wanted to thank you all so much for your support of  “Chill” which did so well.

I am depositing here for posterity some of the info from the main post.

Press

Groove balladeer Gregory Abbott’s new single “Chill” – offers sage advice for these troubled times in the most engaging, rhythmically seductive way possible. Over a slow, simmering groove, the singer wraps his soulful vocals and uplifting lyrics about not worrying with horn section punch, gospel-tinged female backing vocals, and – most exciting of all – Gerald Albright’s inimitable sax harmony and emotional soloing. A welcome visit from a cherished musical friend, “Chill” is the perfect anthem to vibe to as we head into 2021! @smoothjazzglobal 

Attached is review by top 40 charts of the release I thought I would share.

I send prayers to you all for your safety… Stay warm… Stay safe….

And of course Stay “Chill”.

As always, I am

Musically yours,

Gregory
