A Thanksgiving Day song

Christmas will be upon us soon and we'll be saturated, to the point of madness, with Xmas music. This Thanksgiving Day week I thought I would do traditional Thanksgiving songs instead. Then I realized there is no actual genre of Thanksgiving music so, trend setter that I am, I decided to create the genre.

This is the first, and so far only, entry into my new genre: Thanks for the Memory. 

This version features Ella Fitzgerald fronting the Marty Paich Orchestra. Older readers will remember that this used to be Bob Hope's theme song. As an aside, I saw Bob in one of his USO shows at Balboa Naval Hospital many years ago. It was a great show -- his standup stuff was a lot raunchier than his movies and TV shows.
