It was a rich and diverse set. There were lots of ghosts, monsters, mischief, and rare full Halloween Moon. I got to play some old favourites, of course. I had a sweet interactive scheme for people to help me pick songs from a list much too long for one night. There were some great contributions on my other instruments. For a bit further of a change, I recited a couple of my creepy poems. I began the set honouring the passing of a dear friend. And my personal highlight was a debut of my arrangement of "Little Orphant Annie" a friend turned me on to the poem years ago, and suggested I set it to music. It seemed pretty farfetched that a classic poem that good and singable had not been set to music already. Sure enough, I found an actual period setting for it, and created an arrangement I'm really proud of! Expect to hear this alot in the future! And then I ended the night with a couple of requests, one of which I'm pretty sure was enthusiastically echoed by my passed friend as it was one of *her* favourites.
