Because I do.

In 2003, I went to my college roommate's parents for the final time. I'd burned a bunch of new music on MP3 CDs, and this came on as I was driving through blinding rain in bumper-to-bumper traffic up the 205.

Now, if you don't like trance, this is unlikely to change your opinion, as it essentially goes nowhere for the better part of five minutes (curse of the genre). But if you do, here's my holiday gift.

It's basically my Alice's Restaurant, which I first heard in that house Thanksgiving 1997. This one is thankfully less than 18 minutes.

As you mentioned, Alice’s Restaurant. I used to listen to that every year on the drive to my grandparents’ house for Thanksgiving dinner.

There are two types of people: Those for whom Alice's Restaurant is a staple, and those who've never heard of it.

The Highwomen — "Crowded Table"

Other songs fill out our Thanksgiving playlist, but this is the bedrock, the core vibe.
