Hey... Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

What's the problem!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

(What!?)

Okay... for the geographically-challenged, that's TURKEY. (From a satellite.)

And just for the sake of the day, I need to post this photo... maybe for the last time. I just don't know anymore.

Okay... onto the business of the day.

Hopefully, this is kind of another feel-good show on "I Love the Company" today. What the hell. It's Thanksgiving. And, since I'm a guy who realizes how lucky he is 365 days a year, I really dig the whole concept behind a holiday like this. I just feel that in a perfect world, we should be sharing this kind of gratitude being close to the people we love... the people in our lives for whom we are grateful. It's a time for that kind of warmth and genine expression of love. That's what's important. Nothing else.

For all of you out there who by circumstance or choice, are not with those they love, believe me... my heart goes out to you. I feel you.

But, it's cool. I LOVE pumpkin pie!!!! And if you do too, I don't mean to make you crazy, but my brother-in-law Mike is a NYC firefghter and a really good guy who just happens to make the best fuckin' pumpkin pie on the planet! So, it's rainin' today, but I'm cool.

It's just us. Hey, click on this logo and listen to ILTC. Maybe it'll make you smile today. I hope so. Just click on this logo and give it a listen.

Or, download it to listen to whenever you want.

On TODAY's show my musical guests are: Roger Bartlett and Jodi Shaw. (As always, click on the photos to visit their websites, find out about them, where they're playing or how to get more of their music.)

(Might be my favorite holiday. I love the idea of it, and I dig that it belongs to everyone who wants it.)

Gotta say... "The March of the Wooden Soldiers"... "A Charlie Brown Christmas"... and "The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" all in one weekend.

.

Yeah... the season officially starts this weekend.

Time for some tradition, hah? Like... um... our annual "Year-End Concert" at Merkin Concert Hall on December 6th! (That's just two weeks away!)

Yeah, like I always say... it's just about time to kick this year in the ass as it heads out the door. So, join us! I'm tellin' you, this gig is so much fun every year. This year, it's gonna be great again. I'm already lookin' forward to hangin' out with you guys. I miss you. Gonna have some wonderful guests on stage with me. Try not miss it. Seriously, try to get a bunch of friends together and make a night of it!

The tickets are only $20 like they've been for years, now. It's like goin' to a damned movie these days! Don't get sold-out, okay? Get a chance to sit in a great theater, look around, and see all the same faces you've see over the summer in Central Park.

Were you there last year? Well, this year... the beautiful and talented Ryan Kelly will be singing with me.

You heard Ryan this summer in Central Park.

Also joining me are the beautiful and talented Geroge Wurzbach, and my long-time buddy, "Dodger" Bartlett.

If you've been comin' around for a while, thanks for always showing up... here and in the park. And if you're brand new here, take a look around. There's a lot of cool stuff on this site. And, you can go back and listen through a whole bunch of the previous Podcasts. Actually... you can go back and listen to all of them if you have the time.

You can also email me about anything you want by clicking on that "Contact" button over there. I can't answer all the email I get these days. But I promise I read every single one.

Thanks again.
