This Thanksgiving Day tune-fest features the song stylings of Eydie Gorme and Dean Martin, plus both instrumental and vocal contributions from trumpeter Al Hirt. The evening's repertoire is made up of the public's all-time favorite songs as determined by a poll conducted by Reader's Digest. Conducting his own arrangements of these time-honored chestnuts (and staving off staleness in the process) is musical director Jerry Fielding, about five years removed from both the end of his HUAAC-created exile (1959).
