......and their seraphically beautiful "Pilgrim's Progress."
Pilgrim -- get it? It's not rocket science, kids.
As long-time readers may recall, this song is something of a Thanksgiving tradition around here. Which is, of course, a pretentious way of saying I'm too lazy to come up with a new gag. Quel surprise.
In any case, enjoy the cranberry sauce and stuffing, everybody!!!
And be of good cheer; Weekend Listomania -- and a particularly cool one -- returns tomorrow!!!
PS: I have a really wonderful story about the instrumental fade-out of that song -- it involves a brilliant short film (a proto-music video, actually) shot by and starring some old college friends of mine circa 1970 -- and I'm going to tell it here one of these days. Promise.
Happy Thanksgiving, Steve, from Canada. Canadians have their Thanksgiving in early October. However, I'm thinking of applying for dual citizenship so that I can be even more of a glutton :-)
ReplyDeleteChrisE - you're probably kidding - on the off chance that it has actually crossed your mind as a semi-serious intention, as someone who has gone the opposite direction - gotten dual citizen in canada by descent - my dad was a nova scotian before becoming a bostonian - i would like to point out one disadvantage of united statesian citizenship - you owe taxes to uncle sam no matter where in the world you are
ReplyDeletei seriously thought we might move to my ancestral province, canada's ocean playground, when missus charley retired - but practically speaking it doesn't seem to be in the cards - before i concluded that i learned 'o canada' and even applied for and received my canadian passport and social insurance number - and i am even developing some fondness for our monarch, although of course he can never replace his mother
