Sometimes multiple times. Tomorrow they'll be playing it about noon (local time) as part of an album sides day.

Alice died last year. RIP, Alice! (Remember Alice? There was a song about Alice. And her restaurant....)

Once we sat down and said Grace, my uncle would drop the needle. We would listen to it as we started.

I still play it every Thanksgiving, even though I have not had a real one for a few decades now.
