I'm thankful for you, old friend from my childhood. And you, new friend. And you, former colleague. And you, music pal. And you, dear family member. And you, over there. Yes, you... Even though you drive me crazy sometimes. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

As the holidays draw nigh, here is how I do it. To Christian friends, Merry Christmas. Jewish friends, Happy Hanukkah. Friends who mark Kwanzaa, Happy Kwanzaa. Atheist/Agnostic friends, Happy Holidays. These greetings are expressions of good will. Don't use them as weapons. We have plenty of those.

My cousin Eva Jane Johnston has passed away at the age of 88. She was a combination of my mother and her fine sisters - sharp, smart, and funny, with a beautiful laugh. Her twin Flo Jean passed away four months ago, and now they are together again... It was the longest they were ever apart.

This holiday season, I am resolving to buy from folks close to home whenever I can. There is a lot of talent and creativity right around the corner. And, don't forget those gift certificates to your favorite restaurants.

Thinking of my dad, James S. Newberry, on Veterans Day. Enlisted the day after Pearl Harbor. Overseas for 3 years. North Africa, Sardinia, Sicily, Italy, and France. Won enough money playing poker on the troop ship home to pay for college and all of his law school. Best man I ever knew.

It is the 250th Birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. This is my uncle, John B. Newberry. A member of the Raider Battalion during World War II, he was in the Pacific for 3 years...Enlisted at 18 and home at 21. That Raider patch on his arm was worn by only a few. Semper Fi.

I had a great time doing a session at Ashokan Banjo Weekend on Hobart Smith's tune "Wabash Blues." Izaak Atlas Schwartz, along with the rest of this class, was a joy to teach. youtube.com/shorts/Z4IWF...
