My Thanksgiving Wish for You
Happy Thanksgiving.
My wish for you: You spend this day (and many others) around a crowded table, filled with people you love.
There’s a song called “Crowded Table.” It captures the wish.
Before Covid, I produced monthly concerts as a side gig. A hobby business. A labor of love.
I built a big email list. When Covid hit and the concerts stopped, I sent “Song of the Day” emails to my list.
“Crowded Table” was Song of the Day on Sept. 12, 2021.
Here’s what I wrote then. (The video follows…)
Background for today’s song:
My wife’s family has a farm in south-central Missouri. There’s a house with a porch that overlooks a gorgeous Ozark valley. On the porch is a table where family, friends, old guests and new have gathered for endless nights — great food, great conversations, great memories.
We were there a couple of months ago, with some old friends, after we’d all gotten shots and felt like it was safe to crowd around that table again.
As we sat there, I told them about today’s song. It was released before the pandemic, and I liked it then. But it took on greater meaning for me as we sheltered in place, separated from friends and loved ones, wondering when we could gather again.
I played the song for everyone around the table that night and told them how grateful I was to be at that crowded table again. Here’s the chorus:
I want a house with a crowded table
And a place by the fire for everyone
Let us take on the world while we’re young and able
And bring us back together when the day is done
