Well, you know, when you think of music written for specific holidays, nothing really, you know, comes even remotely close to Christmas, right?

No.

I mean, that's where all the money is.

That's where so much money is.

I mean, that, around the Christmas season, the billboard charts for an entire month are like almost nothing.

But Andy Williams. Right. Right. right yeah not a ton of music really

written for Thanksgiving uh you know you don't think of Thanksgiving and think um time to go

Thanksgiving caroling or uh let's all just gather around the cornic cornucopia and sing Thanksgiving

carols exactly Exactly. Right.

But it is a time for reflection, obviously, and a time to get together with the people that you love.

And since it is a time for thanks, I mean, it's right there in the name.

It's literally in the name there.

If you parse the root words.

Since it is a time for thanks, we decided that we would ask listeners to tell us about a song that they're thankful for, a song.

You know, maybe one that lifts them up or just reminds them of what's important in life or just, you know, makes them feel grateful for what they have.

And so on this episode, we're going to share some of those stories and song picks that we got from

listeners. We have a couple of our own. Let's just start with one of the voice memos we got and we'll get

right to it. All right. Well, our first, our first pick from a listener is from Tracy in West Hartford,

Connecticut. She picks simple gifts, which is a shaker

hymn. It's a folk song written by Joseph Brackett in the 1800s. There are a lot of versions

out there. I actually know this as the music that plays in the background of the Kalikovision

game, the Smurfs. First thing anyone thinks about, of course.
