I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving. Today we’ll continue the celebration and the beginning of this holiday season with songs of thanks. Of gratitude. Of the great feeling we get when we simply think about all the things, and all the people we are happy are in our lives. It’s always amazed me how I instantly smile when I think about something I’m thankful for.

We’ll be joined by the Children’s Chorus of MD this morning, singing something perfect for the season. I’ll be chatting with the Chorus director and conductor Susan Bialek, and the work of this Maryland non-profit. We’ll also be Talking Tunes with Brian and Tom – today’s tune is “May All Your Favorite Bands Stay Together” by Dawes, which I think is a very sweet sentiment.
