Halloween

 


It is the last day of October and as every year you see the whole town in a Halloween mood. I have to admit that I never understood the hype for this event (except a special event for kids) and mostly tried to ignore it. But you can't go out for a beer to see the pub covered with cobwebs, skulls and more scary items. It is not my cup of tea but if someone close to Halloween I don't want to spoil this event. Here are some songs that came to my mind when I am thinking about Halloween. Enjoy and have a scary night.

Twanging Tuesday # 97



60 years ago Screaming Jay Hawkins released his classic song I Put A Spell On You. No one before handled with blues and voodoo. Appearing on a leopard dress and dressed in red leather he celebrated the outlaw of musical business and moved to Haiti to celebrate his voodoo background. Legendary is his appearance with a burning coffin. He was weird, crazy but one of the best entertainers in Rock 'n' Roll in these days.
