Songs of the Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Songs of the Harvest It’s Harvest Home time in New England. The leaves are turning brilliant reds and yellows, the apples, pears and root crops are being harvested and we’re preparing for the coming winter season. This is our perennial salute to the simpler times of the agrarian ritual and to the timelessness of the annual cycle of nature. Let’s strike up the fiddles and celebrate with a barn dance!
