Manger Management: Avian Maria (1)

Last Thanksgiving we visited some of the mighty fine turkey songs the Brits delight in at Xmas time. Let’s have some white meat, now,

Tony Aylward recalls the strumming ‘seventies with “The Lucky Turkey Christmas Song.” It’s melancholy, baby.

More upbeat, but eating the turkey ’cause i’m-a mission’ you, is The Fishermen with “Me and My Turkey (Christmas Song).”

Here’s another bird flew down the chimney: The Christmas Players with “The Turkey Song (I’ve Been Invited for Christmas).” It sounds like a muppet bit with a pretty aw-shucks ending.
