Songs For A New Year

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

The New Year is about to dawn (well, in three days) and we programmed a show that touches on the New Year, winter, the subject of time and songs of parting. Special features included selections from guitarist Tim Sparks’ transcription of Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker Suite” and a set drawn from the early recordings of Bob Zentz all about time.
