On the program this time around we celebrate my very favorite season – Autumn – with a collection of classic and recent recordings which bring to mind falling leaves and cooler temperatures. How about Ranchwriters, Judy Collins, Joni Mitchell, Martin Simpson, The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc for a start, and then lots more. Grab some cider and spice cookies and enjoy some songs of the season … this week on the Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
