Happy Thanksgiving!

[Wao nahele wahine]

Thanks Wahine!
I listened to Alice’s Restaurant every Thanksgiving in the late sixties on my local FM underground music station.  Good times.

And today, somewhat like in the song, there will be a pile of garbage outside the locked gates of the Pahoa transfer station.
And another similarity to Arlo’s story, Punaweb has our own Obie, although not an officer of the law keeping America safe from those who litter.

I’ll keep an eye out for the flock of wild turkeys that roam the streets of Volcano today.  Survivors!  Hope!

Did you see any turkeys?

I googled Officer Obie. He and Arlo remained friends until Obie passed in 1994.

Thank you! Thanksgiving is not a holiday I grew up with, but I appreciate what a special day it is in the US. I hope everyone enjoyed the day with family and friends.

I haven't listened to Alice's Restaurant for years, so I will do that right after this post! The problem with listening to Arlo Guthrie is I then have to listen to all his other songs, especially "The Motorcycle Song" and "Coming into Los Angeles".

Those other two songs you mentioned are my other favorites. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, and glad you found your french bread.
