Hi John,

Great Original, That would be a fine tune to listen to on the radio while driving to a ski resort (though that may be contrary to the lyrics). Just and excellent original John. You are an awesome Singer/Songwriter.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, Linus! I appreciate that and I'm glad you liked it!

[JOECEPHIUS]

Mighty Fine John..Just Right..5***** Easy

[Johnfern99]

Thank you, Joe! Appreciate that and thanks for the stars!

[90265SE14]

I got back in from Phoenix tonight from my youngest bro's wedding and talk about a brown UGLY place. Sorry Phoenix people, but the love of (and for) a woman has my brother there. Matt got engaged last Halloween and got married this Halloween to the most awesome young lady. Another sweet sister to my family! Thanks, John, for your good lyrics, singing, and harp. Peace!

[Johnfern99]

Yea, it can be that way in Phoenix, ya gotta get out to Sedona! Glad ya had a nice time with the family and all! Thanks for the kind words about the song too!

[90265SE14]

Jeesh, Lou Jersey Louise! I miss the snow!!!!!!

[Johnfern99]

I only like it at Christmas...in fact...make that just Christmas day.

[WizKil]

John geezz winter already? That sucks! But the song is great! 5*

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much for the stars and glad ya liked the song. The snow melted, and now the weather is fairly decent, so I may have jumped the gun on this one.

[Urankar3]

EXCELLENT job,my friend-GREAT song woooow,very acoustic sound,man,5***** for you!!!!

[Johnfern99]

Hey, thanks a lot! SO glad you enjoyed the music! Hope you have a great week!

[rezfern]

Man that song is coming straight from the heart...beautifully sung and played...

(can you send me a signed one? it's gonna be a big hit , Bro...) (RML)read my lips....

Rez

[Johnfern99]

Hey, thanks so much for the vote of confidence, Rez! So glad you enjoyed it, and if talented cats like you here enjoy it, that's all I can ask or hope for. Happy Halloween!

[suuzzee5]

Brilliant song, John! This is one of my favorites of yours. It's so very well written... all of your music is but I just especially like this one. :) Suze :)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Suze! Makes me glad I didn't try and work it to death, cause I hesitant to upload this one cause I wanted to try it again and see if I could write another verse, but got too lazy...again.

[suuzzee5]

I like lots of things about your music but what I like best is that it isn't worked to death. You write brilliantly, John, you really do ... but when you just leave it be as a pure creation of the heart, that is when you become a shining star. All the best ~ Suze

[RobJamesPaynter]

Another great original. Well done John.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rob! Appreciate that!

[kitsilanogal]

burrrrrrrrr.....hope the snow did not ruin the splendor of October's leaves. Beautiful song John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Shirley! The snow melted a day later, and it's mostly rain now. At least the cold let up too. I can delude myself again that winter isn't here yet.

[UncleVRoy]

Wow John this is a classic sounding song Wow!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Johnny! Appreciate that!

[faffytunes]

Great original song brrrrr

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! Glad ya liked it! I'm off to find my warm gloves.

[busywave]

Yes, it's that time again. Love the song John.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! It's just rain today, so I can live with that.

[joshporter08]

john you are so awesome! this is a truly great song! so well written. I love the harmonica as well

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Josh! I appreciate that and I have a new one coming up later this afternoon.

[wswan31]

Awesome song John! Love to move to Arizona!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! It's pretty sweet in the winter!

[Rickghostrider]

I hear you John. Arizona sounds good to me. Five and faved.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! It pretty much stays around 70 and 80 in the winter so that sounds good to me too!

[busker12]

This is a wonderful song.

[Johnfern99]

Hey, thanks so much, and your videos are great!

[psuttonsr]

OOOOKlahoma is the place to be!! LOL  Great song my friend!!

Phill

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Phill! I'd love to check it out sometime, but I know you guys get a little snow out your way too.

[Ottawarocket]

Great song John..I love the Autumn and it's beautiful here ..But winter always sucks anywhere south of here would be fine

Rocket Rob

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rob! The colors are really changing big time here now, but just to think of another winter makes me want to put my head in the oven. (Can't do it now, my wife has a pot roast in there.)

[reliablebow]

So close and personal...wonderful. i agree with Ron, one of Your best!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, I appreciate that!

[rhopen]

It is even cold and grey way down South right now too, John, but I don't mind it really. I like the changes, but then I understand the word "cold" means something a lot different up where you live. It is a really great song. I think it is one of you best. -Ron

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Ron! I like to complain about it but I think the change of seasons is really necessary to appreciate the variety of all weather. There is nothing more beautiful than fall, but like the song says, it is a reminder that winter is just around the corner.

[jayrbee60]

Outstanding song John. Yes sir, I've been having the same thoughts of late. When I was younger, I never thought that living in Arizona would ever enter my mind. But yeah... it does now. Great song!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks John, glad ya liked it! I actually tried living out in AZ back in '81, but it didn't work out. It's a nice place to visit!

[nllleonard]

THat's lovely, John! You write the prettiest songs! Wonderful lyrics!!!

~NAncy

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Nancy! I appreciate that and I'm glad you liked it!

[coolanddark]

WOWOW JOHN!!! INCREDIBLE Original song!!! Instantly one of my favs!!! The snow is on its way for sure!! Its only 49 degrees here with the leaves falling all around. EXCELLENT video production too!!! WoWoW!!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Dan! Glad ya liked this new one, and sorry you can relate to it. Someday when our songs get purchased by Universal Music Group, we can retire in Florida.

[coolanddark]

Lol!! Honestly Florida would be the last place I would want to live. To many gators and to much sunshine.lol. I like the four seasons and I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks again, Dan! I'm not crazy about the hardships of winter but I think it is necessary to really appreciate what we have during the spring and summer and even most of the fall.

[coolanddark]

Amen John, Autumn has always been my favorite time of year. I dont like the harsh winters either. Thats one reason I moved to seattle where winters and summers are comparably mild yet we still get some snow and warm days. Anyways you wrote one for the ages right here!!!

[TanteA]

Hallo John,

oh that is a great song! I like especially the chorus very much. *****

It is already cold and grey in Berlin. We will have to practise Christmas songs soon :-)

Nice greetings

Anette

[Johnfern99]

Thank you, Anette! Yes, time to get out the Christmas songbooks! Glad you liked the song!

[Eddie629]

Hey John !!!...great tune buddy !!...I don't know why...but as I get older...I really can't stand winter anymore...yep...would love to be able to head on south for warmer temps during the wintertime...but..no can do...Excellent recording...great song...Cheers John !!*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Eddie! Appreciate that! I'm the same way, I ain't goin' anywhere so I may as well suck it up and tough it out!

[TERUKO5]

It's always a treat to hear a new original from you. But I was blissfully pretending it is still fall, so thanks for the reality check! Five big stars and putting this in my favourites.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Teruko, and I'm doing the same thing today. It got real nice and there's even plenty of sunshine! I'll go back into the winter blues soon enough, but for now I'll keep hangin' on to the fall.

[knappydanny]

funny John, I'm busy helping a farmer for a couple months but planning to venture south again this winter. had a few of the same destinations in mind, but rent is a lot cheaper in rural Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama. it's either that or cross the border ! haha.

[Johnfern99]

The rent may be cheaper, but isn't that where they blasted Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper off thier motorcycles?

Anyplace that's warm and dry sounds good to me, but I went with those states since they fit better into the song, and were close together.

[knappydanny]

lol, yah it's cheap for a reason. nobody wants to go there.

[Oswlek]

Terrific John. Your voice is particularly strong in this one. The vocal melody is soothing, like a cleansing of the soul.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much! I appreciate the feedback and love your comment!

[BradCampbell63]

I like the phasing on this one...*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Brad! Appreciate that and thanks for the stars!

[marcie99]

hmmmmmmmmmmm..love this John! so beautiful! a perfect cold bluesy cold fall/ winter time of year song..just perfect and as usual the perfect video to go with it!! a beautiful song John!really loved this!and oh the endinggggggg gave me shivers!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Kathy! I hated to throw another downer of a song up there, but I gotta go with my strengths! Glad you enjoyed it though and maybe in the spring I'll write a happier song.

[onewomanandsomesongs]

You play a great harmonica.... what can I say? Very nice relaxing song and really good lyrics.....very well performed....always enjoy your work, John. :)

Janet

[Johnfern99]

Thank you, Janet! I appreciate that! I kind of taught myself on the harmonica a while ago. They can really add a lot to a song. (If I do it right)

[BlindPigAndTheAcorn]

I'm glad the early snow came to inspire you-cause this is a GREAT song!! 5***** While we do have a real winter-we don't get much snow-so maybe you can send some our way this year ; )

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I'll save you some of our snow and send it out to you. Look for a dump truck driving down your street. :)

[rbheiss]

I like this song John and totally relate to it. They say we'll be getting snow up here on Thursday. I hope they're wrong! Everything always shows up early every time I'm running late.... wow... great line!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much! I wrote that line since I never have the house ready for winter in time, and if it sneaks up early, I'm out there doing it in the cold and snow.

[bios36]

Nice song John and yep, I wanna retire where the weather suits my clothes as the song says, good job! my friend

Rick

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rick, yea, that sounds like a good plan. I always loved that line in that song since I'm usually wearing a T-shirt.

[oldnrone]

Well, we get cold and snowy in Finland....this year I've decided to walk through it with a straight back and with my head held high......great song John!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks much, Guy! I always try and take that attitude when it starts, but by Feb. I'm already beaten down.

[TheLowLifeGang]

beautiful song my brother

winters right round the ben

[Johnfern99]

Thanks MD! It can be rough, but it sure makes me appreciate the other 3 seasons!

[jugnutgut]

cool song John, enjoyed it very much

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Rob, glad ya liked it!

[Cameragirl803]

Dag John...you guys had snow two or three weeks ago? Man...It is so hard to believe it gets so cold there so quick! But you sure did catch the feeling with this one!! I always love your songs so much. You can sure write um my friend!! fived and faved:))

[Johnfern99]

Thank you, Jane! I appreciate that! The early snow was kind of a fluke, and it melted in a day or two. The cold weather is still getting us though, but it is supposed to warm up again this week. I'm hoping for an Indian summer in November.

[canajian]

Yes sirree John, folks who don`t get snow & cold wintery nights don`t really understand what 4 months of the stuff does to ya.. Arizona sounds good to me..

Anywhere warm..

Great tune my friend a rather enjoyable listen..

*****

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Gerry! All the early reports say that we're supposed to have a mild winter, but ya never know until it hits. Thanks for the stars!

[firehawkbandit93]

You are one heck of a songwriter! I should write one about the heat down here in Alabama. LOL! Keep writing and posting them up!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Eric! Glad ya liked this one! Sometimes I don't know what's worse, the bad heat or the bone-chilling cold. I hear Hawaii stays around 70 degrees most of the year, so that sounds about right for me I think.

[rbutler8585]

Beautiful song...Beautiful video! but come on....winter isn't that bad is it? haha...Great job!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks very much! Yea, it can be that bad, but we always get through it. It sure does make a person appreciate spring though!

[mnnorthcountrygirl1]

Awesome song, John. You've captured those winter blues, for sure. (Although I love the cold and snow, lol) You do such a nice job with your video production, too, combining the performance with images and/or video footage that ties in with the song. Great job, my friend.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks so much, I always get a little down thinking about winter moving in, but I know it's a necessary part of the year. I heard it supposed to be mild this year so I can live with that. I think there are still some warm days ahead. (I hope!)

[0258jtj7]

I'm gonna go get my coat on so I can listen to this again! LOL

Excellent songwriting, my friend!!

[Johnfern99]

Thanks Ray! Sometimes I wish we could hibernate like the bears. Just take a big long nap until the snow is gone.

[NostromX]

An absolute fantastic song. So appropriate for this time of year. Fav'ed, shared, and 5*.

[Johnfern99]

Thanks for the kind words and the stars! I appreciate that, and I may have jumped the gun on this one since it may hit 60 degrees today, but I know those kind of days are numbered right now.

[agrlfmtx]

I am in a pretty warm place right now. We were wearing shorts this past weekend!! Snow would be nice sometimes! Very nice song. I really like it. Did a good job! 5*****'s BUURRRR!! T:)

[Johnfern99]

Thanks T! I shouldn't complain either since we may get to 60 degrees today! I'm also counting on an Indian summer and that should be good for a few warm days. When the snow hits for good, I'll shovel my driveway, pack it all up into coolers and send it out to you. :)

[agrlfmtx]

That would be COOOL!!!!! ha ha Thanks! t::)
