Kevin Sings the News: 'Thanksgiving'

What are you thankful for? 

That was the question Patch troubadour Kevin Trudo asked all of us Patch editors this week, and he set our answers to music to create this special Thanksgiving song. It’s a little treat from us to you, because if there’s one thing all 11 of us are thankful for, it’s you. Thanks for coming back and reading our sites, and being part of our lives.

Lyrics to “Thanksgiving” are printed below, for your convenience. For more on Kevin Trudo, check out his Facebook page, and come back here next Friday for another song. Happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Shannon Antinori, Romeoville Patch

Brian Feldt, Bolingbrook Patch
Steven Jack, Oswego Patch
Mary Ann Lopez, Naperville Patch

Thanksgiving

Steven is thankful he's working in the town he'll grow old in
Amanda, she's kinda sad she'll be away
But grateful, too, for the family she'll be thinking of in Houston
Karen's grateful that they're finishing up the work on 59

Jillian, she's grateful for Christmas and coffee
Melissa's grateful for so many people who make her smile
And Brian, for friends, family and readers
While Lauren's thankful for the folks of Darien, you're wonderful

Enjoy your families and loved ones, your homes, your lives, your food
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you

Mary Ann, she's grateful for yoga
And Andre's grateful for changes and music and new friends
Shannon, she loves her job and feels lucky
Dawn is grateful for her family, especially her children

Enjoy your families and loved ones, your homes, your lives your food
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you

And me? I’m thankful every Friday morning
You show up
