Labor Day is many things to many people. Officially, it is a federal holiday, a celebration of the worker. Unofficially, it holds connotations of the end of summer, a last chance to hit the road and enjoy the beach, have family and friends over for a picnic, or simply kick back for three days and deny the impending, precipitous dash through the autumn and winter holidays. For us, it’s an excuse to flood the air waves with American music.

Join me this Thursday morning on WPRB, as we celebrate the American landscape, with music about natural and man-made wonders. We’ll conjure up the dungareed laborer, with the sounds of rivets and factory whistles. We’ll take a last dance around the firehouse and the gazebo. We’ll even enjoy some musical picnic foods. Plenty of the music will be wondrous in itself.

Put aside thoughts about punching the clock or punching your supervisor, this Thursday morning from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. Hard times come again no more, on Classic Ross Amico.
