ROCKOLLECTIONS: HALLOWEEN PT.1

Well it’s that enjoyably creepy time of the year, Halloween.
And I usually try to acknowledge it on the show with themes within a Theme.
But first, I’ll start with a fellow you may remember from TV, radio and a hit record who was nicknamed the Cool Ghoul, John Zacherle.
I met him some years ago for the 2nd time, and what a nice guy he is.
And Zacherley is around 90 years old but you’d never know it- not by his looks or behavior.
He for some reason kinda latched onto and hung with me at this party, and we laughed and laughed.
One of the friendliest and funniest people I have ever met.
After a couple of things from him, we’ll take on some Haunted Houses.
This will include a song that is not a Halloween tune or scary song per se, but I always had it in the back of my head that it could be played for Halloween.
See what you think.
Then a couple of the ladies to sing about how your own house can seem haunted because of not having been able to get along with your significant other…you can even be a Ghost in your own home!
To close out this first half, a song based on the classic Agatha Christie story 10 Little Indians.
It is by my favorite madman Harry Nilsson, and I plead with you to listen to the lyrics- the humor and the plays on words, a truly funny song.
Interspersed throughout both halves is something by Tom Waits that became a Halloween tradition for Engineer Ken and I, and was a great source of laughs for us over the years.
Part Two will be Wolves and Werewolves.
You have been warned…

Mike
