ROCKOLLECTIONS: THANKSGIVING 2011 PT.1

Well, I was expecting you, just open the door and come on in Friend!
That will make more sense after you’ve heard the opening to the annual Thanksgiving show.
I will set the table, the Thanksgiving table, with a few songs of Peacefulness.
Not always the case at Holiday get-togethers, lol!
And again I remind you that Thanksgiving is the most heavily traveled time in the U.S.
43 million travelers estimated this year, and they are all going HOME!
Over the years that has been the Theme within a Theme for this show- as we have gone Home by Planes, Trains, Automobiles…even Boats.
How about Rollin’ Home?
That’s a new one.
And like last year, a song for those, who for one reason or another, can’t go Home.
It’s a privilege I have always enjoyed, doing these Thanksgiving shows with and for you- bringing you some of the best Music I can think of for the occasion.
That Turkey Day is growing ever nearer!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: GETTING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING: BOATS PT.1

For the last 3 years I have done a Getting Home For Thanksgiving series based on the Thanksgiving movie, Planes, Trains & Automobiles- never realizing I had the order wrong, lol!
But so what.
Anyway, this year I was thinking about yet another mode of transportation to get home by.
And it hit me.
The Mayflower is so intrinsically a part of our American celebration of Thanksgiving, BOATS  would be the obvious choice.
However, unlike those original settlers, today’s going home by Boat would undoubtedly be the most luxurious and leisurely of all, at least compared to Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
But I needed some sort of a precedent- for the last 3 years I used a movie, this time it’s a song which enables us to get started and set sail for Home.
Get your sea legs- this and the next three chapters are going to be FUN!
