“There is a season… turn, turn, turn.”
This week’s broadcast of Mountain Stage is a special encore episode featuring songs that transport us through all four seasons of the year. You’ll hear live performances by Doc Watson, Bruce Hornsby, Indigo Girls, 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 popularized by The Byrds, with lyrics borrowed from the Bible’s book of Ecclesiastes — “a time to every purpose under Heaven.” The song sums up the essence of this special episode, and it seems only fitting that our one and only Larry Groce be the voice to do it.
Tune in to this week’s special episode starting Friday, Nov. 29 on these public radio stations. Be sure you’re watching our podcast page for the newest episodes, and sign up for email updates to help plan your trip to be a part of a live show in Charleston, West Virginia and on the road!

This week, WVPB is hosting a special screening event at Marshall University with excerpts from Ken Burns’ The American Revolution, and Kay will lead a panel discussion. We once again hear from Kay, this time speaking with one of the panelists — Marshall University political science professor George Davis — about why revisiting the nation’s founding story still matters.
