[Mb-hair] Alice's Restaurant

[Little Birdie]

As we live about a half hour from the scene of the real Thanksgiving Day 
masacree that the first part of the song is about we can always count on it 
being played on the radio here several times every Thanksgiving Day. I make 
sure to catch it every year while baking pies.

Alice's church is now the home of the Guthrie Foundation, Arlo's foundation 
which is involved in many wonderful things, many musical. Her restaurant is 
still a restaurant, although much more upscale than hers was. Arlo, Alice, 
and Officer Obie are all still around...

Happy Thanksgiving all!
Nina
