12 | OHCC LIVING | SEPTEMBER 2023 | September Song Lyrics by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson Oh, it's a long, long time from May to December But the days grow short When you reach September When Autumn weather turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time for the waiting game. Oh, the days dwindle down to a precious few, September, November And these few precious days, I'll spend with you. For those of us who grew up, fell in love, and pursued a simplistic love of the 50s and 60s, Frank Sinatra's lyrics grabbed our hearts. Its origin is from the 1938 musical, Knickerbocker Holiday, lyrics by Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson. e star of the show, Walter Huston, requested one solo song in the show, so Weill and Anderson wrote this song in few short hours for him. It became his signature song for the rest of his life. Both Huston and Weill died in the same year, 1950. Oh, September, the month of change. Here in Oceanside changes are subtle, temperatures cool a bit, flowers scream out to be allowed to rest until the next spring, and we gather up our gardening tools and begin to plant our winter gardens. e cycle begins again. Some things remain a constant, the books we love to read, the challenge of new projects that keep our minds and bodies alive, and the possibility of something exciting to embrace. Your library is a part of that. e library staff was sorry to have to cancel our first live chat by author Jac Jems, due to her unexpected family emergency. We are hoping to reschedule this event in the near future. Moving forward, we are excited to bring more opportunities with our Live Authors Series. We'd like to thank all those who signed up to for the July event. Some 75 people were scheduled to hear Jac Jems. Watch for upcoming announcements for future programs. Kristin Harmel is an author our staff highly recommends. She is the author of e Book of Lost Names. My book club read this novel and found it to be unforgettable. It was inspired by the true story from WWII. In this historical novel, the protagonist had a talent for forgery, and helped hundreds of Jewish children flee the Nazis. e Paris Daughter, by Harmel is also set in war-torn France. It is a poignant portrait of how we assign guilt even in the most blameless of circumstances. It is a story of love, loss, sacrifice, selflessness, fear, and hope.
