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