*FAREWELL TO DOLLY, LABOR SONGS, CHILD BALLADS, & A 25-YEAR MEMORIAL - There's a lot to pack in this time of year. We lost the great Dolly Parton just a couple of weeks ago, we are three days beyond Labor Day, tomorrow is the 130th anniversary of the passing of Francis James Child, and it is also the 25th anniversary of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. So this evening we will hear Dolly songs, Labor songs and Child Ballads, and we will memorialize the events of a quarter century ago.*
