When I was growing up all of the local radio stations would play Arlo Guthrie's Alice's Restaurant every thanksgiving. I thought I would throw a link in for everyone who has never heard it. The second link is from an NPR story about the song.

Happy Thanksgiving]]> Opinions and Polls Morpheus https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/paged/2/#post-210796 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/paged/2/#post-210788 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 07:14:52 +0000 the first pligrims to settle in the US didnt fare well as they little understood the demands of the new land.
they had applied the ideas they brought over and neglected or didnt know of the foods that the natives knew how to glean from the land.
the pilgrims were in bad shape. the first peoples here (the natives) brought them indiginnous foods and saved them from starvation. they taught them how to use the land and reap it's bounties.
the pilgrims, being thankful, had a big meal with the new neighbors hereafter.
thanksgiving is all about sharing ones bounty with those less fortunate. I have done some time volunteering at food shelters for the homeless.
thanksgiving is about being with family and invited friends passing plates of food, enjoying each others company, and recognizing the good things of communal fellowship ,being aware of those that cannot share in it, and thanking ones good fortune.
our family typically meets from the far reaches of the country, catching up with news, reminecing our childhood escapades with tons of laughter.
nodding off after dinner is the norm. and a board game is usally involved.
we have tried to kept commercialism away, but it seems to be a challenge in this day and age.]]> Opinions and Polls dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/paged/2/#post-210788 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/paged/2/#post-210770 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 04:37:51 +0000
Holiday for us US'rs. Some of us are luckier and have tomorrow off. So a 4 day holiday.

Dan, we should have made some plans and gotten together this weekend. I'll be here all weekend if you're in the neighborhood. Bring your son. I got enough gear and headphones for everyone. :D

Rahul, you and Arjen, join the party if you are passing through. Rahul, no lefty guitars here but I can rearrange a drum set if you want to bang away. :wink:

Happy Holidays everyone! Thanks for the invite Bish! 8) I'd have to make about a four hour wrong turn though to end up in your neighborhood this weekend! :wink: :lol: We will have to get together one day though. Maybe we should start planning a "Mid-West GN Jam"? 8) :D

Wes: Thanks for the story. It does add some depth to it IMHO.]]> Opinions and Polls Ignar Hillström https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/#post-210759 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/#post-210758 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 03:15:03 +0000 In brief, it involves thanking those persons, who mean something to your life... Well, I don't want to go into religion, that is a not a subject for this site, but originally Thanksgiving was a Christian religious holiday to give thanks to God, not persons. You can see the painting at Wikipedia of the first Thanksgiving dinner celebrated by the early Pilgrims to thank God for bringing them to the New World safely, and providing food and shelter for them. Many of the foods like turkey and corn were eaten at this meal and this has passed down as a national holiday and tradition in the U.S.A.

Over the years this holiday has evolved and now includes parades like Macy's and annual professional football games.]]> Opinions and Polls Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/#post-210758 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/#post-210757 Fri, 24 Nov 2006 03:14:23 +0000 Opinions and Polls Elecktrablue https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/happy-thanksgiving-2/#post-210757
