PROGRAM NOTES:

This show features 2 Thanksgiving day classics, Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" and The Band's "The Last Waltz."  "Alice's Restaurant" has been traditionally played ever year by rock radio stations, and that tradition lives on here.  I know you've all heard it before, but there's something comforting to hear this song on Thanksgiving (or the day after!)

The Band recorded and filmed their farewell concert "The Last Waltz" on Thanksgiving Day, Nov 25, 1976.  The film version of the concert was directed by Martin Scorsese, and is claimed by some as "the best concert film ever made."  The film was released in 1978, accompanied by a three-record album.  Tonight's show features music from the 4 CD box set, released in 2002.  The box set contains many songs not released in either the movie, or on the original album.

The Genesis selection, "Supper's Ready" is kind of a Thanksgiving song on a more personal level.  When I first discovered Progressive Rock, I was turned onto this classic Genesis song on a cold November weekend by a good friend of mine.  We spent that long weekend listening intently to Supper's Ready.  This song has since reminded me of Thanksgiving.

PROGRAM NOTES:
Years ago, I hosted a show on WFCS in New Britain, "Cerebellum Flambe'".  I unearthed a few cassette tape copies of some of my shows.  One of my favorites was from November 9, 1992.  The show that evening was subtitled "Scary Music, Vol. 1"  Upon listening to this tape last week, I decided to revisit the playlist from that show, with a few additions and subtractions to the original show.

Several of my friends were having dinner that night while listening to my show, and they began calling my show "Fine Dining With Paul,"  so tonight, in their honor, I call this the "Fine Dining With Paul Redux" edition.
