THANKSGIVING ON KK

Back in 1995, the Music on KK weekly concert series began an annual tradition:  The Music on KK Thanksgiving Show.   We featured various traditional, secular, sacred, and some just plain fun music and readings appropriate for the Thanksgiving season.  At the time, merchants were all trying to out-shout one another, and move their Black Friday shopping event first to Thursday, then to Wednesday, and finally to meaninglessness.  Thanksgiving was left behind as shoppers stampeded to the shopping centers, so our Thanksgiving show was for the rest of you. 

And, now we have the "cancel-everything and hide at home" era.  Well, we made this 12-minute mini-variety show as a way of saying "Hello, in there!  Happy Thanksgiving".

Thanks to Joyce, Fred, and Tiara for all their devoted hard work.  And thanks to Norm Lorenz for his priceless production advice. And thank you to all of our listeners - that's you!
