HOLIDAY TRADITIONS
Familiar traditions. A few surprises. Always commercial-free.
THANKSGIVING ON CLIRADIO
In the United States, Thanksgiving is an annual holiday celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. For many people, it is a time to gather with family or friends, share a meal, and give thanks for the people and good things in their lives.
A traditional meal often includes roast turkey and favorite side dishes. Families develop their own customs, from sharing what they are thankful for to watching parades, football, or simply spending time together.
Arlo Guthrie’s 1967 recording, formally titled Alice’s Restaurant Massacree, is an approximately 18-minute musical story that begins with a Thanksgiving dinner. A trip to dispose of the rubbish turns into an arrest for littering—and eventually a satirical story about the military draft during the Vietnam War era.
Its Thanksgiving setting made it a natural fit for holiday radio. Stations began returning to it year after year, and listening became a tradition of its own. For many listeners, the familiar story is as much a part of the day as the meal.
We’re sharing that Thanksgiving noon tradition across six locations. CLIRadio plays Alice’s Restaurant at noon local time in London, Rio de Janeiro, the Eastern U.S., Los Angeles, and Tahiti—then serves up a Friday-noon “Leftovers Edition” for Guam. Like the food enjoyed the day after Thanksgiving, it’s another helping of a holiday favorite.

About CLIRadio
CLIRadio.com (Classic Long Island Radio) is an independent, commercial-free internet radio station dedicated to the music that defined an era—and the deeper tracks that defined a generation.
This is Album-Oriented Rock (AOR) at its best: a carefully curated blend of iconic hits, forgotten favorites, deep LP cuts, and the occasional surprise—songs you know, songs you forgot, and songs you may be hearing for the first time.
With a library of 11,000+ tracks, CLIRadio delivers nonstop music—no ads, no filler—just great music, played with intention.
Every song you hear on CLIRadio is hand-selected. If it doesn't fit the era, the sound, or the soul of the station—it doesn't make the playlist.
The story behind the station
Growing up on Long Island, New York, the radio stations of the ’60s and ’70s—WBAB, WNEW, WABC, and WNBC—were the soundtrack of my youth.
Listen to CLIRadio for just 20 minutes and you’ll feel it: the songs, the memories, and the feeling of hearing something you haven’t heard in years.
My name is David D. Doerrier, and radio has been part of my life for decades. I began my broadcasting career in the early 1980s as a weekend DJ at K57 AM while stationed on Guam with the U.S. Air Force.
That experience launched a 12-year radio journey that took me to stations in California, Guam (again), Texas, and Georgia.
It’s not just music. It’s a time machine.

The heart of CLIRadio
CLIRadio is the station I always wanted to create—one that honors the craft of radio and the power of music to connect memories, moments, and people.
CLIRadio shares the finest Rock, Jazz, some Country, R&B, and Blues from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s—drawing from a massive collection of LP tracks, deep cuts, and forgotten classics alongside familiar artists and remarkable discoveries.
This station exists for listeners who still believe radio should feel personal, thoughtful, and alive.

Creating this station has been a labor of love. My goal is to create a sound that is different than any other classic rock station you may listen to.
Anybody can find and play only the hits from the ’60s, ’70s & ’80s. That’s too easy!
It takes research, time, and passion to dig through and listen to thousands of hidden gems buried in the bowels of the internet.
It’s not just music… It’s a mission!
