I had that Witch on a Motorcycle book!!! That threw me into some nostalgia for a moment! And I’m definitely a lover of Halloween-themed music. I have a burned CD with “Halloween Mix” written in Sharpie. And I still even have a CD player. We played Halloween Jeopardy at work last Friday and my team won a category called “Spooky Soundtracks” coincidentally. And it was because I knew all the answers to the Halloween music questions. Hahaha! Thanks for writing this piece. I love it!

Ahhh Yes. I don’t have memories of music class Halloween times like you but some of my favorite years teaching music included some of the very songs you mentioned and then some like “Witches Brew” “Brownies and Witches and Goblins and Such” “5 Little Pumpkins” “Old lady who swallowed a Bat” and more One of the saddest days of my career was when I was told I could no longer do a Halloween program with my students for PTA or walk the block in costume as a school 😢 Times may change but no one can take our memories away!

I was smiling the whole time, while reading this. Your images are painted delightfully vivid, invoking memories of my own. Thank you for that.

Halloween has always been a fave of mine as well. I loved dressing up (still do.)
