Good evening, Ms Feather...*HUGS*...what a cool excursion.
Any kidlets at your door this evening?
We’ve kept our lights off...3 people (my sister is visiting from California) and not a single knee that works properly. No stairs for us.

Halloween is the anniversary of Hardtack II an atomic bomb test that took place on this date in 1958 in Nevada. It would be our last atomic weapons test until 1962. To commemorate the event, here are 10 spooky songs from 1958.

What makes it work is the canonical use of that little A minor fragment, which is no doubt why Billy Friedkin wanted it in “The Exorcist”. It sounds like a soul lost in the void going in any and all directions but getting nowhere. It’s a hellish idea, which is why it worked so well.

We we not home, we were at another daughters home, and there are no kids around there.
Before we left the house, my daughter put out candy for the kids - we did have some callers while out.
Oh man, no knees, I know that so well, I hobbled around today - lots of pain. The weather has turned for cold so we suffer more with bum knees.
Take care, rub on some Ben Gay.

HALLOWEEN: SPOOKY CLASSICAL MUSIC
SCHUBERT: GROUP FROM TARTARUSThere was a renewed interest in Greek mythology in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and Friedrich von Schiller wrote a lot of poems on classical themes. The Greeks had a different idea about the afterlife than Christians. The Aryan standard was whether a life was lived gloriously or shamefully, and little things like love and goodness didnt enter into the equation. Tartarus, their idea of hell, was presided over by the god Hades, played to delicious perfection by James Woods in Disneys Hercules. In the second Percy Jackson movie, Tartarus was located in Cleveland!
Schubert set Schillers poem twice, once incompletely at age 19, and then a year later, when he produced a masterpiece that points the way to Wagner.
It starts in C minor, rising by semi-tones, as though a stage mechanism is causing a tableau of torture to rise into view.
Hear! Like the angry murmuring of the sea,
Or a brook sobbing through pools in hollow rocks,
From the depths arises a muffled groan,
Heavy, empty and tormented!
Schubert springs the trap in D minor, the Viennese key of death, with a chorus of horror. The semi-tones rise, creating a sense of a lack of melody. It cadences quietly.
Pain distorts
Their faces in despair
Their mouths open wide, cursing,
Their eyes are hollow their frightened gaze
Strains toward Cocytus bridge,
Following as they weep that rivers mournful course.
The damned ask when their suffering will end. A lesser composer would have set the answer, Eternity, in a minor key. But Schubert states it in a massive blaze of C Major. Forever! Youll be here forever! The mechanism lowers the scene of horror back into the stage, and the piano illustrates the rings of Saturn with a little C minor arpeggio.
Anxiously, softly, they ask one another
If the end is yet near.
Eternity sweeps in circles above them,
Breaking Saturns scythe in two.
This is Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau accompanied by Gerald Moore.
Schubert: Gruppe aus dem Tartarus, D. 583

According to Donovan Leitch in his autobiography, "You've got to pick up every stich" is a knitting term (as in drop a stich). It refers to a pastime of mental hospital patients, early OCD.

I’ve never even had the “courage” to see that movie and it still creeps me out! LOL! Just the descriptions from people who did see it kept me from it.

I saw it when it came to HBO in the Eighties. It’s pretty scary, but after seeing the SNL takeoff of the movie, I found some parts unintentionally hilarious.
