It's Turkey Day: Special "B. J. Wilson is God" Edition

From 1971, here's Procol Harum Mark II...

.....and their utterly gorgeous live version of original organist Matthew Fisher's "Pilgrim's Progress." With Gary Brooker singing Matthew's part from the studio version.

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 by now, but I thought I'd try to do it a little differently this year. Hence my delight earlier this week when I discovered the above clip, which I had not seen previously.

Meanwhile, for now, enjoy the cranberry sauce and stuffing, everybody!!!

And get ready for a way cool Weekend Essay Question on the morrow!!!

  1. Hey gang, remember it's Turkey Day not Weasel Day except for The Weasels!

  2. It's such a joy to watch BJ in all his glory. He was the most exciting drummer to listen to and especially to watch!!!

  3. Although, to be fair, Weasel can be delicious if prepared and served properly.

  4. in a self-created family tradition I once again took Indian Pudding - also known as Population Displacement Pudding - to a family dinner this holiday - in a way I represent the ancestors, as I am the oldest person in the house, born when Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin were still alive - but on the other hand, I am not anybody's ancestor in particular - who knows if it's good or bad - it definitely was easier, I have to admit
