Once you consider vacation music, Thanksgiving in all probability is not the very first thing that involves thoughts. However since it is a time for reflection and gratitude, we requested NPR listeners to inform us a couple of music they’re grateful for. It may very well be one which simply makes them really feel higher, reminds them of what is most necessary of their lives or to be pleased about what they’ve.
We obtained a whole lot of tales and music picks, through e mail and voice memos, with consensus round lots of the music, like Louis Armstrong’s “What A Fantastic World,” “Pretty Day” by Invoice Withers, or the perennial fan-favorite on the subject of serenity and thanks, “Three Little Birds,” by Bob Marley.
