“There is a season… turn, turn, turn.”
This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage is a special episode featuring songs that represent the four seasons of the year. You’ll hear live performances by Doc Watson, Bruce Hornsby, Susan Werner, Molly Tuttle, Taj Mahal, Norah Jones and many more.
Our Song of the Week comes from co-founder, artistic director and former host of Mountain Stage, Larry Groce. Groce is joined by the Mountain Stage House Band in this 1991 performance of “Turn! Turn! Turn!” The song was composed by Pete Seeger and made famous by The Byrds, but its lyrics were borrowed from a Bible verse that emphasizes that there is “a time to every purpose under Heaven.” The song sums up the essence of this special episode, and it seems only fitting that the one and only Larry Groce be the voice to do it.

A Series on Parenting.”
