01.5-Bonus Thanksgiving

I knew as soon as I stumbled across a track this morning by The Viking Accordion Band that was appropriate for Thanksgiving that I was going to have to make a bonus post for today.  The stuff that showed up at noon today has been in the can for a long time, but this post was put together on the fly just today, and it features a few good Thanksgiving songs, some songs about Grandma, and a whole lot about food. I spent a couple hours making new searches at The Internet Archive, and this is what I came back with. All good stuff, I'm sure you'll agree, and I think it's a worthwhile addition. Still time to listen to it before you sit down to turkey and dressing tomorrow, but be sure you finish it before the coffee and the pumpkin pie in the evening, because that's when the Christmas music deluge begins.  Enjoy!

  2. Hey, how can I resist the Poison Gardner Trio, not to mention Cleveland's own Johnny Vadnal!

  4. I thought I was just tired and was supposed to look for it in the archive! The other Thanksgiving linked to Mega fine.

  5. Whoops, my bad. Should be better now. I was too excited about finding a sudden windfall of unexpected Thanksgiving goodies! :)

  6. A gobble duet! And titled "Gobble Duet," no less. Looks more recent than my example, of which only a portion features gobbling. (I've always wanted to type that.) The Juke Box label--too cool!

  7. Another enriched Thanksgiving and looking ahead to the end of 2020 to enjoy your fabulous and generous and rigorous sharity from prior years!

  8. Thanks for the comments, folks, that's what makes the blog work. I wish the gobble duet was as interesting as the thought it provoked in my head when I first saw the title, but it's only mildly interesting, and hard to understand. But I was excited to find it.

  9. "Gobble Duet" didn't have as much gobbling as I expected. I can't believe I just typed that.

  11. Thanks for the Thanksgiving stuff! I had them on a continuous loop all day on Thanksgiving. Well, until my wife came after me with the carving knife... Looking forward to this year's Christmas stuff, heh, heh heh.
