Why I Oughta...

It won't be Thanksgiving around here without a little bit of The Last Waltz from The Band.   My rule of 'how to have a complete Thanksgiving' still stands from 2023 .  It is like the Jimmy Valvano speech (laugh, think, and have your emotions moved to tears), but has four parts to a complete Thanksgiving. 1. Get outside and do something. 2. Eat. 3. Watch some football. 4. Enjoy (at least part of) The Last Waltz from The Band. Earlier this morning, we did the Downers Grove Turkey Trot.  I'll strap on the feedback later today with two meals and catch some Lions and/or Cowboys.  Of course, I've already listened "in thankfulness to The Band and all the fellas..." Take a load off, Fanny. @the_band_official_ Today marks the anniversary of The Band’s set at Woodstock. No frills. Just songs and soul. In the chaos of ‘69, they brought something steady, rooted, and real. #TheBand #Woodstock #ClassicRock #MusicHistory #1969 ♬ original sound - The_Band_Offi...
