Songs Of The Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

Here in New England, the leaves are a multitude of vibrant colors and beginning to fall from the trees, the pumpkins, squash and apples are in their fall abundance, the root crops are still being gathered and we’re celebrating the end of this summer’s harvest on Profiles in Folk. It’s our version of a Harvest Home Festival and the focus this year is not only on the eternal cycle of nature but also a celebration of the American farm, a tribute to ploughmen and an ending with two quirky compositions about tomatoes.
