It was 20 years ago today
Hazel found the tracks to play
They've been all types of spooky styles
And they're guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years
Hazel-Rah' Lonely Halloween Club Band !
Yes,
that's right. For Twenty Years now I've been sticking my hand deep into
the pumpkin and pulling out whatever gooey centers I could find to make
a Halloween Mixtape for friends. I started this adventure on a whim.
With a brand new computer at the time,I was having fun upgrading my
mixtape making from cassette to CD.(I still subconsciously formulate the
mix as Side A and Side B moods) I loved making them for friends. So
many "OOOH -you need to hear these band's/songs" -Couple of days
later-"Here's a mixtape I made for you" occurrences.Eventually, I
stumbled on the idea of doing a Halloween theme mix.Originally just so I could have some of my favorite seasonal songs to play in one spin for my seasonal celebration of my favorite holiday.And 20 years
later-here we are.So many Spooky tunes & soundclips.So many John
Carpenter Halloween themes.Hope you enjoy and ....Happy Halloween !
