Happy Thanksgiving!

From my program The Frank Truth, this brings you Thanksgiving greetings and best wishes with a short clip from Frank Sinatra's CBS Radio show for Thanksgiving 1946.

Though the recording quality is poor since it was never intended to survive past the initial broadcast, I believe that the sentiment involved makes it worth a listen.

Here's the MP3 file for direct download.

You can find the studio recording of The House I Live In on the following compilations.
