Back in my ancestral homeland, which also happens to be Arlo Guthrie’s neck of the woods, the full playing of Alice’s Restaurant was a Thanksgiving tradition on radio.
We have noticed in recent years that this tradition is very much threatened. And so we are doing our part (sort of, I took the live version so you wouldn’t have to stare at an album cover for 23 minutes) to maintain the values of Thanksgiving tradition we hold so dear.
