60 years ago today, on Thanksgiving of 1965, an event occurred that would be immortalized in song....

It would not be Thanksgiving at our house without the playing of that song...long and sometimes tiring as it may be. Should happen about 10:00 this morning.

Officer William J. Obanhein (October 19, 1924 – September 11, 1994) aka "Officer Obie"....



And here appearing as himself, in the film adaptation of the song "Alice's Restaurant"...
