Songs of the Harvest

10 p.m. to Midnight Host: Steve Winters

It’s Harvest Home time in Southern New England and Long Island. The leaves are just beginning to turn brilliant reds and yellows, the apples, pears and root crops are being harvested and we’re preparing for the coming winter season. This is our perennial salute to the simpler times of the agrarian ritual and to the timelessness of the annual cycle of nature. Let's strike up the fiddles and celebrate with a barn dance!
