On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty gets personal and shares the holiday traditions that have shaped his life, from growing up in a house with eight sisters and two brothers to the customs he's now passing down to his own kids. Ty takes you through the Sunday dinners around a crowded table where someone always spilled their drink, his mom's legendary homemade spare ribs with that perfect barbecue sauce, and the simple but meaningful gift exchanges where each kid would draw a name and shop for a sibling with whatever budget they had. Ty opens up about how his mom made sure every Christmas had the essentials under the tree, a toy, clothes, and a family game, even in the lean years when money was tight. He talks about carrying on those traditions today, from smoking racks of ribs on Thanksgiving and Christmas to the chaos of Christmas Eve jammies and progressive dinners with his siblings. You'll hear about the moments that matter most, reading the Christmas story with his dad, singing Joy to the World as a family, and watching Unaccompanied Minors every year because his late mom was an extra in it. Ty also shares the ways his family gives back during the holidays, from Thanksgiving Day Heroes delivering meals to families in need to Wreaths Across America honoring veterans to playing Sub for Santa for families who are struggling. His message is simple but powerful: take care of your own first, but find ways to serve others, whether it's your time, your money, or just showing up. If you're looking for a reminder of what the holidays are really about, this episode is it. As always, we would like to hear from you!

In his quarter century with The Flood, the late Doug Chaffin brought dozens of great tunes to the band, and the loveliest of the bunch was one of the last.The truth is we always listened to everything Doug told us, because his musical instincts were usually right on the money. For instance, whenever we were playing a show and Doug leaned over and whispered, “Hey, maybe we oughta do this song next,” Charlie Bowen revised the set list on the fly, because Doug had a sixth sense about what people would like to hear. That's why a half dozen years ago, when Doug told us we ought to learn “Amelia's Waltz,” we perked up. The song ended up being one of the sweetest tracks on our 2019 Speechless album, as you can hear in the video above.The piece you hear sounds like an old tune, but it actually was written in 1981 by Bob McQuillen, the late New Hampshire composer, who penned it in honor of the then-three-and-a-half year-old daughter of a friend and fellow musician, a woman named Deana Stiles.“Amelia's Waltz” is one of those sweeping melody that sounds like it ought to be the soundtrack of a big, lush movie. And it turns out that the plot of such a movie could easily be based on the tune's very namesake.So, Who is Amelia?Considered the dean of contra band music in America, the late Bob McQuillen — “Mac” to his friends — wrote some 1,300 tunes in his 60 years of playing. Most of his compositions he named after people or events in his New England life, and the song named “Amelia'sWaltz” is one of his best.Besides having a gorgeous song named for her, Amelia Stiles' other claim to fame is that she was born in a New England curiosity, a structure called “The Lindbergh Crate,” and…. well, heck, let's let Mac himself tell that tale. A few years before his death in 2014 at age 90, McQuillen was interviewed by a Danish fiddle website about the back story of “Amelia's Waltz” and here's what he told them.“This is sort of complicated,” he began. “After Charles Lindbergh flew across the ocean in the Spirit of St. Louis, the thing was to get the plane back. They took the wings off and put them in one crate and the fuselage in another, then sent the whole thing back to this country aboard ship. “I don't know where the wings box went, but the fuselage crate eventually wound up on the banks of the Black Water River in Contoocook, a little town in New Hampshire.” Later, someone added a slanted roof to the crate and turned it into a little cabin in pretty little spot in the piney woods.“Now along comes Deanna Stiles,” Mac continued, “and she lives in this thing for a while. She also develops a fondness for some dude and out of that we get the emergence of a cute little baby girl, who, because this was Lindbergh's crate, was named Amelia (after Amelia Earhart). About three years or so after that was when I decided that Amelia ought to have a tune. And that's how it all happened.”The earliest recording of the tune we've found is John McCutcheon's 1982 release on his Fine Times at Our House album for Greenhays.And Whither the Crate?Meanwhile, The Lindbergh Crate has had a moving history of its own (with the accent on the moving….)Its modern chapter began in 1990, when history lover Larry Ross purchased the structure from David Price of Contoocook. Price had received higher offers, but Ross convinced him to sell the crate for $3,000 when he explained his vision to use it as a museum and an educational tool for children. Ross brought the crate from New Hampshire to his property in Canaan, Maine.There, Ross restored the 290-square-foot crate in his backyard, adding a new roof, porches, doors and windows, transforming it into the Lindbergh Crate Museum. Inside, he displayed donated Lindbergh memorabilia, including a bust, letters, tapestries and photographs.For 30 years, Ross hosted an annual “Lindbergh Crate Day” for the community, but during the Covid pandemic, he decided it was time to downsize and sought a new home for the crate. He connected with Morrill Worcester, founder of Wreaths Across America, whom Ross had previously invited to Lindbergh Crate Day. Ross felt Worcester's location in Columbia Falls, Maine, was suitable because the nonprofit's mission—”remember, honor, teach”— aligned with the crate's educational purpose.The Lindbergh Crate was shipped in October 2020 from Canaan and arrived safely at the Wreaths Across America Museum in Columbia Falls. Last year it was moved again to nearby Jonesboro, Maine, where it has been restored by the Worcester family. This is a public episode.

In December 2008, the United States Senate agreed to a resolution that designated December 13, 2008, as Wreaths Across America Day. Subsequent National Wreaths Across America Days have been designated on the second or third Saturday of December. What began in 1992 with a trailer load of wreaths, decorated by volunteers and laid at the graves of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery has now become a national organization with over 3,700 participating locations – all focused on the mission to REMEMBER the fallen; HONOR those who serve; TEACH our children the value of freedom.

Holiday Wreaths HON Graves of Service Members Thousands of U.S. military service members buried in Marietta National Cemetery were honored with holiday wreaths during the Wreaths Across America event, Remember, Honor, Teach. Sixty sponsor groups collaborated to fund wreaths for the over 17,000 graves, with about 14,500 wreaths successfully placed. Donna Rowe, president of the Cobb Veterans Memorial Foundation, expressed hope to cover all graves next year, noting that all graves were covered last year. Despite some disappointment, Rowe described the event as incredibly emotional and powerful. Representatives from every branch of the armed forces participated, placing wreaths on service members’ graves corresponding to their branch. Attendees also came together to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, adding to the solemn and heartfelt atmosphere. Rowe commented on the significant personal stories shared by attendees, highlighting the deep impact and purpose of the event in honoring fallen heroes.
