Happy Thanksgiving 2019

Did you mean Arlo Guthrie? OK - but what made it so traditional? Granted, it is a great tune, especially with a banjo to help.

(From what I recall, the song was about him being turned down by the draft for being mentally unstable with homicidal tendencies because he was so hell bent on wanting to sign up so he could kill for Uncle Sam) :)

You might want to listen to it again.
 
It was in the local newspaper last week - someone at the sheriffs office found the original complaint and arrest records for the dumping of the trash and judges ruling for the cleanup. Pretty cool to see it in the paper.
 
You might want to listen to it again.
I did. I did! So it seems the original was about littering.
It won't be the first time some hippy comedian changed the words. A late night folk song at a rough venue in Francistown (Botswana) was maybe not the best for an infusion of Americana culture!
