For this week’s show, we celebrate the Halloween season with new and traditional songs and tunes that remind me of dark nights and magical happenings. You’ll hear music from Sven Nyhus, The Young Tradition, Anne Hills, Edden Hammons, The Wainwright Sisters and many more. It’s Halloween … on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
