It’s the night after Thanksgiving a holiday of homecoming, thanksgiving and grace and we’re exploring a few universal themes under the proposition that music keeps people going when the world becomes unbearable because it’s therapeutic and creates a sense of community and cultural understanding.
We decided to reprise (for the first time in several years) Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice’s Restaurant (The Massacree Revisited)”, which, oddly, has become a Thanksgiving Day regular on many rock stations in our region. We played the updated 1996 version and, yes, received great listener response.
