I just couldn't wait until tomorrow to start looking up versions of Alice's Restaurant on youtube and somehow ended up here. Ain't it weird how the internet can do that?

Side note of the side note - I finally got a chance to see you live at the Caverns show in Tennessee with my 21 year old son just before the Covid shutdown and following retirement. I feel blessed to have caught one of your last shows and was impressed by your kids' performances. When I was 16 and learning how to play Alice's Restaurant in my bedroom, my dad stuck his head in and asked who I was listening to. I told him and he said, "Oh, I saw him when I was in college in the 60s" WTF DAD?!? Can't figure out why he hadn't bragged about that before!

Anyway, I hope you get to spend a beautiful Thanksgiving with your family and friends up there and we'll all sing along when it comes around on the guitar in Tennessee tomorrow as we're gathered around the table in your honor.

Thanks for all you've done and all that's yet to come. I appreciate ya man!
