This episode of Pastures of Plenty features a set of songs about the benefits of hard work. The set includes two songs from the 2024 album Labor Day put together by George Mann and Si Kahn. John McCutcheon sings "Go to Work on Monday," and Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer sing "Truck Driving Woman." If hard work’s not your thing, the next set emphasizes less lofty goals, like sleeping late (David Bromberg), listening to a hedgehog (The Incredible String Band), or everyone looking for the same thing (Kate Wolf).
Pastures of Plenty starts at 5:30 Wednesday morning and ends at 7 o’clock with the news. Please join me if you can. Thanks for listening to folk music on KBOO weekday mornings and Fridays after the noon news.
