Ring In The New Year and A New Decade

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

The champagne is chilled, the confetti and noisemakers ready and our glittering musical ball poised to descend. Start of a New Year and a New Decade? Or end of an old year and an old decade? Whatever you're celebrating, we're ready to help with two hours of a special "Profiles in Folk" that features traditional and contemporary folk and ritual songs sung and played around the world to welcome in a new year.
