ALL CLASSICAL, ALL FUN!  

These classical pieces may remind you of Halloween, even if they weren’t specifically intended that way when composed or published.  When I hear them or see their titles, I get a small smile reminding me that Autumn (aka Halloween Time) can be a state of mind, not just a date range on a calendar.

You can listen to this one and call it a presage of Halloween, a foreshadowing if you will.  And if you’re like me, YOU WILL!  Listen to MA-234 and feel your mouth curling up, your musical horizons broaden, and a lift to them gloomy ole Halloween spirits.

See you Monday!
