Great story - even though it's Arlo for me on Thanksgiving first, Last Waltz later...
As to the coin - the pictured one is Norwegian, not Danish - so all the folks travelling to Scandinavia can also add Norway as travel destination to go shop for strap fasteners... and yes the Danish have their own coins with holes as well.
Man, I saw the Georgia Satellites a few times when they were at the hight of their power. Those four cats could rock, made great records as well. Thanks for the reminder CP.
Sorry Chuck, but Thanksgiving is all about the original version of "Alice's Restaurant" by Arlo Guthrie. I've been listening to this every Thanksgiving morning since 1971. Turkey is nice, but it's nothing without Arlo talking about the draft down on Whitehall Street with the father rapers. I'm afraid the "The Last Waltz" comes in second in that race. Glad to hear you're better. Keep up the good work.
What a great Thanksgiving story! It’s got everything: generosity, guitars, Denmark, Tipitina’s, and Robbie Robertson trying to take over The Last Waltz. PS A good friend of mine is Danish, if you need more kroner (kröner?)
Was at the Last Waltz. Great to read that bit. Remember it and how I thought I shouldn't be thinking that Robbie could be kinda embarrassing at times. Maybe just caught up in star-heavy fumes that night.
Salt of the Earth, that Dan Baird.
Takk skal du ha!
Ain’t no fun in hoardin’ bro…
Gotta share dem tips!!

We did Chuck thanks! The cloud still hangs over us but we try not to dwell on it.

Thanksgiving - The Last Waltz - Robbie’s a dick - cool repurposed Danish Straplocks!
If that’s the meandering, honest, stream of consciousness writing they have on this substack thing, sign me up for more.
Reno! I hope you and jet and the whole damn family are having a wonderful holiday.
without lawyers.
Excellent solution! The Grolsch bottle caps fall apart over time - as I have just found out. Next time I’m in Denmark...
Oh, and I now have tickets for next year’s Brudenell Social Club gig & am agog with excitement. Hit it!
Hopefully there won’t be a run on those coins after this post. I would hate for their economy to collapse.
My wife might have a couple already. She use to visit Denmark for work, back when the Angry Isle was less angry.

Oh Frankie, you know what I like
Chantilly lace?

Unbelievable.
Good thing Denmark isn't in the Euro zone!
love it. Thx for the cool story, Chuck
Always a pleasure to read from you. Caught the Chapel gig in SF. Wonderful. First time seeing you live. Bravo. Such fun.
Happy to know there’s some new faces out there… Keep knocking. And keep rocking.
