Thanksgiving Theme Records

Post by Phonofreak »

Were there any disk or cylinder records recorded with a Thanksgiving theme? I'm really curious about this. If there were, I'd love to get some.

Though its a Little later than what you would want to play on a spring-would machine... - how about Berlin's "I've Got Plenty to be Thankful For" from 1942's "Holiday Inn" :D
