Looking For The Moon – Tom Paxton
And now some Tom Paxton as another day comes to an conclusion ....
Alice’s Restaurant
I wonder if Arlo Guthrie would have ever thought that a half century later, radio stations across the would have regularly scheduled playings of Alice’s Restaurant on Thanksgiving.
massacree – Wiktionary
"Likely a corruption of English/French massacre, possibly from the Missouri French dialect. Originated in the Ozark Mountains, date unknown. Attested no later than 1967 in the song "Alice's Restaurant Massacree" by Arlo Guthrie."
Alice’s Restaurant – Original 1967 Recording
Happy Thanksgiving! The Alice's Restaurant massacree took place a half century ago today, or so the song says. Don't get caught driving garbage around on this Thanksgiving, and certainly not dumping it over a cliff where you might get caught. This song is probably why they have large fences installed in Massachusetts near all of the highway rest areas, to discourage people from dumping garbage.
Peter, Paul And Mary – “Very Last Day”.
When you drop the needle on the first track of Peter, Paul And Mary's first widely released-album, this song by Peter Yarrow starts playing. Seems appropriate these days.
Herb Alpert – Jerusalem.
This Herb Alpert song 45 years ago was number six on the charts. Seems like a good way to round on the mid-week -- somber but relaxed.
