Since we're on the subject of food today,

0:00:19.191,0:00:21.913
we thought it would be[br]appropriate to bring you

0:00:21.913,0:00:25.395
a piece that's all about saying grace.

0:00:25.955,0:00:27.937
This is by our dear friend Mark Stewart.

0:00:27.937,0:00:30.442
He is a member[br]of the Bang on a Can community,

0:00:30.442,0:00:33.313
and he's Paul Simon's music director.

0:00:33.313,0:00:37.955
Mark's father is an episcopal priest,[br]and his mother is an atheist.

0:00:37.955,0:00:42.528
So you can imagine, at family dinner time,[br]they've got fun discussions of,

0:00:42.528,0:00:45.110
"What exactly do we do with grace?"

0:00:45.110,0:00:50.796
So, mom came up with a brilliant idea,[br]after which Mark named this piece.

0:00:50.796,0:00:54.794
So, one year,[br]Thanksgiving time I guess it was,

0:00:55.710,0:00:59.735
mom stood up, time to say grace,[br]and she said,

0:00:59.735,0:01:01.709
"To whom it may concern --

0:01:01.709,0:01:03.219
(Laughter)

0:01:03.219,0:01:04.575
-- thank you."

0:01:04.575,0:01:05.965
(Laughter)

0:01:10.527,0:01:15.969
(Music)

0:04:36.548,0:04:39.007
(Applause)
