To start off the Labor Day Weekend, a program of songs of working people. The emphasis this year is on labor songwriter Joe Hill, an appropriate brand new release from Si Kahn, two reissues of early work from Pete Seeger, whose music is almost always featured on our Labor Day Weekend programming, and a set on immigrant laborers.
