There’s something magical about October. Besides the chill in the air, pumpkin spice everything, and a seasonal shift, many of us, young and old, anticipate this spooky and spectacular holiday. Halloween starts with finding that perfect costume, planning your neighborhood trick-or-treating route, and braving the best haunted mazes in town. And then there’s the music.
