Songs of the Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Here in southern New England, fall’s treating us a display of vibrant colors and chilly night. The leaves are beginning to float from their branches to the ground. The pumpkins and squash and apples and pears are in their fall abundance. However, most of the farm crops have been harvested and we’re celebrating the end of the summer’s harvest on Profiles in Folk. It’s our version of an old-fashioned Harvest Home celebration and a reminder of the eternal cycle of nature and the agrarian ritual.
