Happy Thanksgiving - With A Twist

As Thanksgiving approaches, I thought about posting Arlo Guthrie and the perennial favorite "Alice's Restaurant", a song which has certainly become a tradition around here. I hear Sirius/XM is once again playing the various versions in a rotation throughout the day.

But Arlo is more than a one trick pony as evidenced by this wonderful rendition of the Steve Goodman classic "City of New Orleans," so I thought I would share that instead.

Not sure when I'll get to posting tomorrow so for my US based friends I wish you a very safe and happy Thanksgiving.
