A straightforward show on “songs of working people” to start off the Labor Day weekend. This show featured an extended set by Pete Seeger. And, as we do each year, we put the spotlight on different groups of workers. For this show it was cowboys and coalminers. We ended the show with a song written by Gil Turner, who was part of the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1960s. Gil grew up and is buried in nearby Bridgeport. Artist
