Preston Forest Barbers in Dallas, est. 1963 (and still known to us old-timers as Bob’s), is closing at year’s end. Machelle has been cutting my hair/trimming my beard for years. She’s going out on her own on NW Highway. She’s really nice and does a great job.

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.
