Thanksgiving Weekend Leftover special Posted 11/21/2009 4:00:00 PM

Love this time of the year...The Fall colors, the crisp clean air, people anticipating getting together with family and friends...the Parties!!

One of the Holiday traditions, ever since I did "gold turkeys" for a Thanksgiving special Lobster Breakfast morning show on KRQR, CBS's The Rocker in San Francisco 20 years ago, is to mark Thanksgiving with music and comedy.  This will happen on Sunday, November 29th on the Lobster's Sunday Brunch from 10a - 3p on 97.7 The River.  Songs of Thanks, about Giving, and Leftovers (Cover versions of other people's songs) will be sprinkled throughout our musical meal, including some comedy drops that center around our National Holiday.  All this, and it's Fat Free and Calorie Free!
