It was the night ghosts and skeletons and the walking dead come out to haunt us and say frightening things to scare us to death. And for once, I wasn’t talking about Congress. It was Halloween and time for my Annual Halloween Party with some of my favorite Halloween songs and a few songs carefully curated for the trick or treaters who showed up in costumes at the door.
