The Thanksgiving holiday is the busiest time of the year for travelers. Perhaps it’s because of the annual four-day weekend, or maybe just the lure of spending time with family and friends … and, oh yes, there’s food. On this week’s show, we’ll focus on songs about travel and memories of Thanksgivings past. We’ll hear Dalglish, Larsen and Sutherland, Marshall Dodge and Robert Bryan, Kate MacLeod, Doc and Merle Watson and many more. It’s our wish for safe travels and a family-filled holiday … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
