All Hallows 'Een

Good Morning Gentle Readers,

I intended to work up a little historical narrative about the amalgam of Mezzo-American, Scots-Irish, and Catholic traditions that when taken together form the nucleus of what we modern Americans call Halloween. Instead, I will defer to The Book of Counted Sorrows, which teaches us that..... 

There's no escape from death's embrace,though you lead it on a merry chase.

That was an awesome mash up of clips from the Corpse Bride and Nightmare Before Christmas, wasn't it? Note: My old buddy Wayne had Dead Man's Party played at his funeral. 

And this fellow, he simply couldn't bear the horror of Halloween any longer. Screaming_smiley_face

Classic Dead video.....

My favorite Dead tune. Touch of gray, kinda suits me, anyway.

Happy Halloween.
