Thanksgiving music recommendations

As promised, here is some of the best Thanksgiving music:
  • Coming Home-Sean Harkness (This guitar piece from "Thanksgiving: A Windham Hill Collection" captures the warmth and anticipation of getting together with family.)
  • Now Be Thankful-Fairport Convention (Although thought to be referring to torturous life in medieval times, the line, "For the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know," suggests hopefulness.)
  • Over The River And Through The Wood/Among Ones So Dear-Julia Lane (If Maggie Sansone's Christmas dulcimer music appeals to you, this selection likely will, too.)
  • Thanksgiving Theme-Vince Guaraldi (If you've ever watched "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving," you know this pleasant piano melody.)
  • Thanksgiving Waltz-Jay Ungar & Molly Mason (Gratitude for life is conveyed through fiddle, guitar, cello, and bass.)
