OK, I'm cheating a bit.
I didn't take the enclosed picture, nor provide a personal copy of the audio file.
I do have a personal copy of The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour."
Love that picture of Lennon shoveling food.
Q: Why is "Strawberry Fields Forever" a Thanksgiving song?
A: Lennon intoned "Cranberry sauce" at the end of the track. };-)
No, not "I buried Paul":

Even at the tender age I was when the "Paul is dead" conspiracy started, the idea made my eyes roll up in my head a la Lurch Addams.
Why would Lennon have said "Cranberry sauce?" At a guess, because "Strawberry Fields Forever" was recorded in November/December. He had Christmas food on the brain:

It was good. Talk, turkey, sides, pies, Catnip Greenies (for the cats), and Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog (for the humans). I'm here to tell you that freshly ground nutmeg really makes a difference.
I hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful as well.
