Songs Of The Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

It’s Harvest Home time in New England and this is our annual salute to the agrarian ritual and the timelessness of the annual cycle of nature. Here in Southwestern Connecticut the leaves are hanging on to their last blazing colors before dropping, the frost is almost on the pumpkins and the apples and root crops are pretty much harvested. It’s time to dance and sing.
