This is the November edition of my “all-music” show. I tried to fill it with Thanksgiving related themes (Travel, food and family), but I was a little short so I cheated and made the last segment a “cornicopia” of songs I really like.

Keep in mind that my bitrate is not really music quality, so if you enjoy the songs you might want to visit the artist’s website for a better copy of it. Or better yet buy the CD that the song is on so you can listen to all the other cool music on it. All the songs in this episode are available as MP3 downloads or streaming on the various artist’s websites. So honestly, go check them out.

I Heart Thanksgiving - Robert Lund, Roadtripper - Carrie Dahlby with Possible Oscar, Map Light (Edit) - The Great Luke Ski, Sky Mall - Johnathan Coulton, 50 Ways To Lose Your Luggage - Robert Lund, Comforts of Home - Ookla the Mok.

SPAM (Let the pork be pork) - The Great Luke Ski, Angus Beef Patties with Cheese and Bacon - Hot Waffles, Domino Death - Tom Smith, Old Dun Cow - Brobdingnagian Bards, All Out of Beer - Possible Oscar.

Spoiler Alert - Tom Smith, Ancient One - Raymond and Scum, 80s Chords - Rob Balder, Getting Old Sucks - Sudden Death, My Apologies - Worm Quartet.

Re Your Song About My Client Delilah - Robert Lund, Holding Out for Hiro - The Great Luke Ski and Carrie Dahlby, Bad Influence Radio - Throwing Toasters.
