"Who's that Bird?" (Podcast Title)Thanksgiving!I thought tonight would be a good time to work in some farming songs, harvest songs, food songs, family songs and the odd tokin' tune. For some background, I talked about the history of Thanksgiving, and the English harvest festivals that inspired our fall holiday.Also worked in a couple of ancient grain songs by way of a couple of folk songs, with a live rendition of John Barlycorn, related to the Indo-European myth of the dying corn god, whose remains we consume to this day...Finally, worked in a moment about Ernest Charles Dury, 8th Premier of Ontario, some of his policies and his opinion about moving the date for Thanksgiving Day. We have our own election in a week, all shows are pre- emptied next week for that reason...Track list-*Allan Capson- Down In The Boondocks (RIP Billy Joe Royal)Elvin Bishop- Fishin*Blue Rodeo- Stealing All My Dreams*Jarvis Street Revue- Uncle Benny*Swank- Hey Jeb*Wilf Carter- Waiting for the Maple Leaves to Fall*Ray Materick- This S
