Happy Thanksgiving Via The Last Waltz (And Turkey Trot and Bowl) - November 2022

Holiday traditions are important in every family.  And they're both the same and different in every family.  Thanksgiving in our house means a few things:  turkey trots, turkey bowls, turkey legs, football and...The Last Waltz.  We used to watch the whole thing.  (This is the Royal "We", as it really means *me*).  Now, I try to find time to turn it on and let it play while I putter around doing whatever else I need to do in between the trot and bowl.  

I've done this for a number of years and have covered it here on the blog for those same years, but last year, we did something new:  watched the Peter Jackson program on The Beatles:  Get Back.  This year, I'm going to start with what I've always watched:  The Last Waltz.   Here, below, is Bob singing with his backing band in what feels like (during the show) a very transition-y number:

Here, below, are the Thanksgiving Day archives from "Why I Oughta..."  This is the 16th post over the years with the first coming all the way back in 2004.  Since 2010, I've posted annually - every year.  16 years is, frankly, remarkable to me and makes up 36% of my entire lifetime of Thanksgivings.  Weird.
