Halloween has never been a particularly favourite holiday of mine, but as with many things in life, I’ve noticed the more I’ve participated, the more fun I’ve had. It’s not been much participation to be honest, but it’s been a great excuse to catch up with friends, especially when it’s involved carving pumpkins!
It’s also been a great excuse to have some fun on the music front as I enjoyed selecting music from a topical perspective. I went spooky-tastic with some great songs, led of course by the band that practically invented Halloween on their own- The Misfits! I’m surprised I didn’t play more of their songs, but there was many others to enjoy…
