Thanksgiving Eve

Nice arrangement; lyrics and melody (available at bobfranke-dot-com) are significantly different from the original.I wrote the song; I own the copyright to it.

It's a fabulous song, Bob. Congratulations on giving birth to it.

This song is called "Thanksgiving Eve," and was written by Bob Franke.

Very talented, well done. Has an out-in-the-country feel, like a small town Thanksgiving.

Well done, excellent interpretation while still staying true to the original.

Really really good - very well recorded, beautiful sound. The close up photography of the fingerwork is going to be very helpful for anyone who wants to work out this song for themselves.

Thanks, SED. Much appreciated.

Wonderful rendition John! Well done! First DADGAD-er I have heard.

Rose correct: original by Bob Franke on "In This Night" - with a "2-Step" feel to it. Written '82 with 3rd. verse added '90. On Flying Fish FF 70563, '91. Some spiffing Bob now on YT - not yet this.

Recent YT posting of the IG version from '91, also. Hint of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot"" in IG's? If so, very appropriate.
