  • Alice's Restaurant

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 24 05:49:22 2024
    Every year on Thanksgiving, I play "Alice's Restaurant", the coolest
    song ever written about the holiday. I favor the 30th anniversary
    version.

    This year I will play it to honor Alice Brock, who owned the
    restaurant. She passed away this week. RIP, Alice. https://theberkshireedge.com/alice-brock-of-alices-restaurant-dies/

    My grandfather used to play that song, thanks for the memory.

    Sad to hear that Alice is gone, I wondered if it was about a real
    restaurant.

    "Back in 1964, Alice and her former husband Ray Brock purchased the
    St. James Chapel building located at 2 Van Deusenville Road.

    The building was originally the St. James Chapel, built in 1829.
    Eventually, the building was expanded in 1866 and renamed the Trinity
    Church.

    Around the same time, Ray and Alice Brock also opened Alice's
    Restaurant in Stockbridge.

    Musician Arlo Guthrie was a friend of the Brocks and stayed with them
    at the church during Thanksgiving."
