Songs of the Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Here in southern New England, nature’s just starting its march to the changing colors of fall and then winter dormancy. The pumpkins, squash, apples and pears are in their fall abundance. However, the greatest share of crops have been harvested and we’re celebrating the end of the harvest season on Profiles in Folk. It’s our version of an old-fashioned Harvest Home celebration and a reminder of the agrarian ritual in our midst and the eternal cycle of nature.
