Show 59: October 2007

LATE SUMMER/ EARLY FALL HOLIDAY SHOW

This month's show features a short roundup of tunes to celebrate a few of the recent and upcoming late summer/ early fall holidays. There's a couple of Halloween numbers, of course... And how about Columbus Day? Yeah we've got a couple for that... And we've even got something for the Feast of San Gennaro!!!

But it's mostly about Halloween... including a whole set of Halloween-ish exotica and a Halloween "Cocktail of the Month" to close off the show.

But we'll start, as usual, with our artists of the month...
