September Song

Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December

But the days grow short when you reach September

When the 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

These precious days I’ll spend with you

~

Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson wrote September Song for the 1938 Broadway musical “Knickerbocker Holiday”.

The beautiful song has been sung by many different people including Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Weill’s wife, Lotte Lenya.

On September 1, 2015,  there is some news about Clay Aiken.

The Huff Post published an article that includes Clay Aiken.

5 LGBT Celebrities Share Their Coming-Out Stories 

It features:

Sir Ian McKennen – actor

Jane Lynch – Actress

Clay Aiken – Entertainer/politician

Robbie Rogers – Major League Soccer Player

Barney Frank – politician

The article by Jarod Greenhouse says:

The process of coming out as gay, lesbian, bisexual or any other non-heteronormative sexual identity can be both daunting and cathartic. Even after mustering the courage to vocalize your truth, there is no crystal ball to anticipate the cacophony of reactions you might get — or how you might feel yourself. But the truth is that being who you really are always feels better than wearing a mask, as these celebrities can attest.

In the videos below, five LGBT stars open up to HuffPost Live about their coming out experiences. While no two accounts are the same, there is a common thread: All of their lives drastically improved once they embraced who they are.

Each celebrity is featured with a short paragraph and a nice video.  Greenhouse wrote the following about Clay :

For Clay Aiken, an “American Idol” runner-up turned politician, coming out was something to be done on his own terms. Though many fans wondered why he didn’t do it during his run on “Idol” in 2003, Aiken asserted that he waited until the time was right for him. “When it comes to an issue like [coming out], that’s a personal path for every single person. It’s very different for me than it was for Neil Patrick Harris. … I don’t second-guess anyone’s decision to do it when they do it.“
