Our first grandchild was born the day after Thanksgiving last year, so today she is celebrating her first Thanksgiving with us, something to be so thankful for. Before she had arrived I composed this tune for her in Double C tuning. Hope you enjoy and all have your own Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks Ken and Beat. Sorry about tab, Beat. I have enough trouble just reading tab. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to write one. I play mostly by ear and if there is a song I really want to learn and am having difficulty with certain parts of it, I may take a look at a tab and try to work through it. But I can't even work just from the written tab. It needs to be in Tabledit so I can listen to it.

Thanks Peter. No better, just different, the same as I thought when I just listened to your Emma's Waltz, comparing it to my Emily's Waltz. Both nice tunes, just different.
