Hi, folks.
Saturday morning. Facing a long to-do list, which is why this post reads like directions for setting up your new toaster. ("Congratulations! . . .")
1. The songs from last night's show are listed below.
2. The (always free) archive MP3 for this show is available for download here.
3. We are eternally grateful to Billy Miller, co-founder of Norton Records, for the tons of cool songs he found and released to the world at large. We play Norton material on almost every show. Rest in peace, Billy.
4. Thanksgiving Eve: Join me at Brass Union in Somerville, MA, for a very cool rockin' record party, with DJ sets by me and my good buddy Forrest Plassmann. 8:00 to 1:00, 21+, no cover, cool venue, table games, excellent food and drink.

5. Keep your records clean and sleeved in a climate-controlled space. But if they're beat up, play 'em anyway. Play them! Records are not museum pieces. They are there to be enjoyed by you today.
6. Life is short, and it goes by quickly. Be good to your fellow human beings and animals.
Happy Thanksgiving!
