Music for Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and we’re sure you’ve planned the meal, delegated cooking assignments and decorated your table. But have you thought about the music? As fans of The Music Junction, we know you love music so we’ll make your holidays a bit easier by providing you with some playlists. Enjoy!

Before Dinner:

While you’re busy preparing for the big feast, keep the kids entertained with this food-centered playlist from Sugar Mountain PR. Keep the children focused on the meal by inundating them with food references and teach them that it is possible to use words such as eggplant, whipped cream and pancake in a song.

During Dinner:

This will be your most challenging playlist. The music must not compete with conversations or be so loud that it distracts people from what’s on their plate. Also, and most importantly, the music must be likable by various generations who all have their own opinions of what is good music. During the holidays, we lean toward timeless artists and names like Sam Cooke, Stan Getz and Charlie Parker never get old for us. Thanks to Epicurious for providing the playlist.

After Dinner:

Your guests will most likely have full stomachs and be in tryptophan-induced slumber thanks to the turkey. Aid their comfort with some soothing music from the Sisters of St. Benedict church in Beech Grove, Indiana. We do not know much about the church or the sisters but we thoughts the songs performed at last year’s Thanksgiving Mass were beautiful. Your guests will be so relaxed by their voices that you may need to bring out some blankets.
