Halloween Candy
I produced the song Halloween Candy, featuring nationally syndicated Horror Host Mr. Lobo. It is inspired by the great horror hosts of the past like
    Bob Wilkins Zacherle The Ghoul

and a desire to add a worthy new tune to the small pantheon of officially accredited Halloween songs. Plus have fun bashing about with guitars!
Sounds Like:
    Steel Drums Latin Guitar Latin Percussion Hawaiian Uke and Steel Guitar
    A Day at the Beach A Night in Tunisia A Lost Weekend near the Equator
