Alice's Resturant
« on: September 24, 2019, 02:11:41 PM »
As Fall comes and Thanksgiving approaches, many may appreciate this. Arlo Guthrie tells the true tale of a Thanksgiving gone wrong and then wrighted. It is very funny and thoughtful. Get the long version.

I often quote "...8 x 10 glossy photo w/circles and arrows..." to refer to notes for those orders whose details shift hourly.

He is regarded as an historic and cultural icon. The story telling is wonderfull. The long version is eighteen minutes but well worth it. Hopefully not one of last of his kind. You should hear it once a year. Here is to him, Officer Obie, and all the group W bench!

I listen to it every year on the way to the in-laws Thanksgiving morning. My wife hates it so I turn it up to drown her out. My kids tolerate it and me. I don't have a lot of traditions, but that is one.

Thanks Dave. Last year, as we were sitting on the deck, it struck me. The kids had never heard of it. They are older now so may they never will I thought. Then, one of the boys brought it up on the phone and plugged it in. We sat around the pool and waited for dinner. The laughter was contagious. Those are the best moments in life.

Walk right in it's around the back. Just a half a mile from the railroad track. Just be careful where you throw out the garbage!

A classic for sure.
And don't forget about the pickle......

A bit of a derail,
 but his dad Woody Guthrie had these words to say  (for all you guitar players out there  ;) )   quote   " if you're playing more than two chords, you're showing off"  ::)

Had to listen. So many great quotes. From the bench:" I got a fifty dollar fine and had to pick up the garbage" I explained to officer Obie that this would be difficult with the handcuffs and all.

TP -  Alice's is sweat 30 minute drive from home, sporty 1 lane road up the hill through the thick redwoods. Alice's is at the peak, once you pass the road meanders down to the Ocean with a couple other awesome way to spend the day with your gal. Impossible not to stop and check out the hundreds of motorcycles in the lot or at least sing the song as you drive by.... Iconic place indeed.
