Tomorrow is going to start out happily busy, and I wanted to get in front of that a bit by showing some appreciation of good things here as well. Every one of you guys who show up here and contribute to the community and to the environment are people whom I am grateful to know, and in many cases, consider to be true friends. May you all have much good in your lives to be thankful for, and friends and family to share those thoughts with tomorrow.

You too, Cliff. Glad to hear you made it safely. Classix won't be here to play, but then it is Thanksgiving. I don't hear you pining. A blessed Thanksgiving to one and all, and particularly to our overseas friends, for whom we are grateful and who don't get to eat turkey tomorrow - at least not for any particular reason.

Back at you Cliff and you as well Greg. It is very easy to take things and/or people for granted so days like Thanksgiving are truly a time to count one's blessings. I am grateful for this outstanding community. Each of yooooooz guyzzzz represents such a broad spectrum of experience and insight. There are few sites that can even come close to the level of mutual respect and intellectual exchange represented here. Thanks to all of you. Roland |

Appreciate everyone here, I look forward to checking in daily. I am thankful for a great many things today. There will be a house full in a matter of hours, that is a thing to be thankful for on it's own. I always think of the ones that might be alone on days like this. Have a blessed day folks. Enjoy your health. Safe travels Cliff. Roland, I didn't know you spoke Jersey. |

Happy Turkey day all, hope everyone has a great day! Drive safe if you have to and remember to take a second to remind yourself how lucky we really are to be able to play and enjoy music. And the people in our musical communities. Like you guys. Goki, do they even have turkeys in Macedonia? |

There are turkeys everywhere, but I believe that the feathered variety is uniquely American, before export. I hear that the turkey lost to the eagle by one vote the privilege of representing the United States on the Great Seal. I try to picture the turkey occupying this pose but cannot. I also try to imagine the men who cast their votes in favor of the turkey. They must have been more interested in their stomachs than in national prestige. It is easy enough to picture a turkey carrying the laurels of peace gripped in one foot, but in that case peace does not seem so much a virtue as a survival strategy.  Where I live, wild turkeys abound. When walking in the woods, it is common to be startled by a rafter of turkeys who have taken a dim view of my intrusion, dropping from the trees overhead, their six foot wingspan beating great clumps of air as they attempt to arrest the fall and hopefully gain elevation and trajectory. I think of them as cartoon characters who run in place before moving; but once in motion they can achieve speeds that are reported to be almost 60 mph. I don't know that I've ever seen one going that fast, since by the time they've broken free of the thick branches they prefer, they have also broken free of my gaze, and what little that can be seen of the after end of a retreating turkey, and the resulting foreshortened angle, makes it difficult to estimate his airspeed. |
