Back in the day

This was once my favorite holiday, a celebration of friendship, from 1967 on, for about a decade, when the Deemers, Fuquas, Bradleys, Richardsons, Crookses, five couples, six kids, would gather for several days of celebration, centered on Thanksgiving. Most of us were folk musicians, so we had lots of music. All of us drank too much, so there was much partying. It was grand! Started in LA but continued after some of us moved.

A grand time! Never the same since.
