Once upon a time, I sat at the head of a huge table every year, with my 5 kids, ( not all mine ) and a dozen or more family members, and all their kids, all happy and talking and having a grand time. All sorts of Thanksgiving delights to taste and devour. Love all around. Well....almost all the way around.

And then one year....*poof*
It was over. And I was alone, at the head of a rather small yellow kitchen table, with a ham sandwich and a glass of milk.

Things are subject to change aren't they.
Well, after a couple of years of ham sandwiches alone at my kitchen table, ( for which I was truly grateful ) I decided enough was enough.

I knew I was not the only one who had played the game and lost. And so......
I started the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Supper Club.

I invited all my friends, mostly musicians, who were divorced, or single parents, no family here, what ever the reason, who were alone during the holiday season. I figured misery loves company.

So, every Thanksgiving, and Christmas now, I have a houseful of misfits like myself over for a grand feast and musical jam. And once again, I found myself presiding at the head of a table full of all sorts of gastronomical delights, and surrounded by love. Children running around outside playing with the dogs.....spills and boo boos....all the things I missed so dearly.

I invited anyone I could think of, even if they were grumpy sad lonely people.
And ya know what? I found they really weren't all that grumpy or sad after all. At least while we were The Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Supper Club.

So I am getting ready to send out the invitations. I wanted to let you all know about it, just in case you were sad and grumpy. Or maybe if you are a musician. Or maybe if you just feel like it would be fun. Or if you are a single parent, and your kids would like to come over and play.

November 22nd of course.....anytime after noon would be fine for the guys. Girls can show up anytime after 6 am.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll.
RSVP please if possible. And let me know what you might bring. Last year we had 127 different types of dinner rolls.
Thanks.

Love,
Tunes
