Dar Williams was pretty spot-on when she sang, “And February was so long that it lasted into March.” In honor of her weather woman ways (not to mention the fact that she’s coming back to the Mountain Stage this May!), we’re devoting part of this week’s “Mountain Stage After Midnight” to the legendary crooner.
Broadcast from 1am-5am Saturday and Sunday mornings here on West Virginia Public Broadcasting, “Mountain Stage After Midnight” takes the best episodes from the show’s 31 year history and shares their memories and songs with our late-night listeners.
