The history of an iconic Thanksgiving song


Thanks to my sister Wendy for passing along the following clip from the 29th November 1965 edition of The Berkshire Eagle, a Pittsfield, MA paper which has been published daily since 1892.

"Alice's Restaurant Massacree," "Alice's Restaurant," "Arlo Guthrie" -




And no Thanksgiving would be complete without listening to Arlo himself, here performing his iconic song at the 2005 Farm Aid benefit concert.



Have a healthy and enjoyable holiday! 

Love,


Rebecca
