Very well thought out on this topical theme Bill.This Halloween stuff, unheard of in our young days seems to get more popular every year & brightens up the darker nights!

Great again-and so topical and music related! Halloween not so good an American export as that from New Orleans.
I would suggest that his work warrants a book but wouldn't want to lose our exclusive free laugh every so often.
