Performing Spooky Music On Halloween

At 6PM we left to trick or treat in the Charlie Brown like neighborhood, founded in Fort Wayne, IN in the year 1794. Our Daughter Winter dressed as a bride. At 6:45PM I ran home past a bustling crowd of trick or treaters, (like from a scene in Hocus Pocus) to bring out the keyboards and do a final set-up (which my husband Sage helped with) for my eerie keyboard music. I played a variety of atmospheric sounds and alternated with minor organ chord progressions (like the music from The Six Sense). Tall M-Audio EX66 speakers could be heard through the living room windows and I played on a Yamaha M06 keyboard. I wore my new movie studio style skeleton mask with a black cloak. A green spot light provided illumination while I played until 8PM. Sage wore a draped cloak giving him an appearance of an executioner. Even the older kids were really scared, without any gore mind you!

Our neighbor’s dropped by to share a Caramel Apple with Winter (which we eagerly tasted) and I prepared hot caramel beverages made with milk for us all. It was a Happy Halloween indeed.
