It's Turkey Day!: Special "Matthew Fisher is God" Edition

From 1969, here's the original classic lineup of Procol Harum...

......and their utterly gorgeous "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 by now.

But in any case, I promise that if you and I and our beloved country are still with us next year -- i.e., democracy has survived the President Mediocre Columbo Villain Administration© -- we'll start a new Thanksgiving tradition, i.e., post a different song.

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

And get ready for a Way Cool Weekend Listomania on the morrow!!!

It's estimated that about 35 million people are alive today who descended from the Mayflower passengers. A few decades ago - i.e. during my adult life - I learned that I am one of them, and that Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was my distant cousin. Of no practical importance, of course - and yet, cool. In honor of those ancestors I am taking "Indian Pudding" to the family gathering today. Also called "hasty pudding", although it bakes for hours.

Happy Thanksgiving to America today from Canada. And I hope that somewhere in your great nation today, a TV network or streaming service is showing, from the late 1970s, the "WKRP IN CINCINNATI" Thanksgiving episode, featuring the immortal quote "As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly."
