Music For Thanksgiving Day

I made ya a mixed tape. It's just a few of the songs that sound like "Thanksgiving" to me. I don't really know what "Thanksgiving" sounds like, well, besides the grunts and groans from overeating.

Regardless, I like my music to be geriatric relaxing, as I have enough chaos in my house already. I don't need any additional noise making me wanna stab my eardrums with a meat fork. Just sayin'.

So here are my Top Ten Songs For Thanksgiving. No one asked me to promote these tunes--and if they did, they wouldn't want to be named. These are my picks! My taste in music! Mine mine mine!

Keep in mind I was forced to watch Lawrence Welk as a child. And the one time I dared to make fun of the show, my mom sent me right to bed. To bed!

So... where was I? Okay, I will mention, as my holiday gift to you, that you can get $3 in free MP3 downloads at Amazon from now through November 29th. See? Happy Thanksgiving.
