On this week’s program, we celebrate my very favorite season, autumn, with a collection of classic and recent recordings which bring to mind falling leaves and cooler temperatures. We’ll hear music from Ranchwriters, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Martin Simpson, The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc and many more. Grab some cider and spice cookies and enjoy some songs of the season … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
