This being November and all, Thanksgiving winged dinners aplenty have invaded my Library. As always, click the images to bigify.

Winged Dinner in the Library
Hank & Willie Decked Out For Thanksgiving, I See
Well, I certainly can't complain. There are plenty of T.G. winged dinners for moi. Fine dining, I'd venture.
Maybe we should fire-up the outdoor deep-frying cooker straight away.
Or not.
Not THAT Deep-Fried, Minions,

P.S. "Down the Highway," composed by Carole King and Toni Stern and produced by Michael Nesmith, was recorded on June 5, 1969 but never made it onto a Monkees LP until Missing Links, Volume Two (1990), on which Rhino Records mislabeled it as "Michigan Blackhawk," a completely different song written by Michael Nesmith (and recorded on June 10, 1969). What has this to do with Thanksgiving, you might wonder? Nothing. I just really like this song and decided to include it here. Being feline-in-charge at my Library, I can do such things, you know.
For the definitive discussion of this song title confusion, see pp. 238-240 of Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: the Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation (London: Backbeat Books, 1st edition, 2005).
P.P.S, Want to listen to the Monkees "Michigan Blackhawk?" Here's a video claiming to be the song, and it fits the description from Sandoval's book (see above).
P.P.P.S. In the irrelevant aside department, the lyric "moving along the highway" appeared in "So Far Away," by Carole King, on her LP Tapestry [1971]. I'm presuming that we're not talking about a Monkees cover of "Down the Highway," by Bob Dylan, from The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan (1963).

Cauli, how do you like your winged dinners cooked? And does one of your minions cook for you? I'm going to assume it's pretty hard to cook without thumbs...
ReplyDeleteMinions are useful to moi in so many ways!
ReplyDeleteCauli, you've let WAY too many winged creatures invade the library. They are NOT to be tolerated in such vast numbers.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have plenty of room in the freezer.
