Just wanted to wish my fellow American friends (and those also living in the States) a very Happy Thanksgiving!
And to give thanks here for all of my new and old friends here and for the music that has both moved me and given me great joy and delight over the years.
Best wishes,

Thank you. I'll share something I wrote elsewhere:
A genuinely touching exchange today. For dinner, my brother and I wanted to support a local place, so I ordered (too much) Thai food from a fantastic restaurant around the corner. When I picked it up, the owner was pleasant—and effusive: "Thank you so much. My wife thanks you, also. We have been here 11 years, and don't want to leave. We are doing everything we can to stay open. Our rent is $6,000 a month. If we make $500, that's a good day. So I thank you again."
It felt even better, supporting a small business. I hope they make it.
