An eerie bluesy tune by two of my favorite young guitar players Samantha Fish from Kansas City and Sadie Johnson from Bloomington Indiana jamming out live in 2014 in Owensboro Kentucky.

My Monsters and Music video for today is from one of the coolest bands of the 70’s. Dr. Hook and The Medicine Show, Too wild and wooly for country music radio and too country for main stream pop radio, they played songs that could make you laugh, cry, kiss your Mamma or tear your heart out of your chest. I still love them today, especially their early albums before they cleaned up their act. This is a song from their first album about a little witch from the swamps of Louisiana named Marie Laveau. She is one of those girls like Sweet Lorraine or Wednesday Adams that you definitely do not want to have on your bad side or it will be “Yeeeeee, another man done gone”.

Here’s another classic rock track that has a great bassline intro and throughout the song. There was a time when I really liked the band Aerosmith, especially their first few albums, pure rock. Great work by bassist Tom Hamilton and some equally great guitar work by Joe Perry and Brad Whitford.

I don’t care for a lot of music from the 90’s but I’ve always like this song which is a good addition for this forum thread because sometimes the worst demons are the ones inside of you. They are the hardest to deal with and sometimes cannot be defeated.

Not exactly a Halloween movie but I loved the special effects and Jim Carey’s performance in The Mask. Very funny movie if you haven’t seen it. I believe it was the first film featuring Cameron Diaz. This is the scene where Jim first discovers the power of the mask.

This is the only song I know by the Cranberries. Our family band which is called Home By Nine and consists of two nephews John and Jd, my niece Amber, John’s daughter Michelle and Jd’s best friend Pat have played this song for a few years. I went out and listened to them Friday night at a local club. When they played this song Amber’s daughter and sister as well as Pat’s wife joined them on stage to sing along. It was the highlight of the night, very fun. Thanks for the video.

Jung, thanks for the picture of Mona with her alien. I thought about that too while watching the video. You’re right, there’s not many of the greasy spoon diners around anymore. It’s been a while since I’ve had a big greasy cheeseburger with a slice of onion and tomato and a big basket full of homemade fries and unlimited packets of ketchup. Now I’m hungry, Lol. Thanks for the reply.

I think The Devil Went Down To Georgia was a couple years after I seen him. He had a hit called Long Haired Country Boy that, for a pure country record, got a lot of air play on rock radio. Mostly because of lines like “I get stoned in the morning, I get drunk in the afternoon”. I think he had quite a few cross over hits and I’m guessing maybe it was because of having to tour with rock bands and a lot of that crowd liking his music. He was probably billed as southern rock and I suspect he toured with some of those bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd. I suppose because the country music establishment wouldn’t claim him I guess they had to label him as something. I really dislike all the different labels. To me it’s all music and either I like it or I don’t.
Anyway I have another Monster song. This is a band from your backyard. I had a Facebook post this morning about the 50th anniversary of the song Smokin’ In The Boys Room. I remember listening to that song in junior high school when a kid from the audio visual department would play DJ in the gymnasium at lunch hour. Man, 50 years, that went by fast. I really liked Cub Koda and Brownsville Station because they just played rowdy, raunchy Rock n Roll. I know they weren’t that good but they didn’t have to be. In those days I listened to music on a cheap phonograph or 8 track player that had terrible sound anyway. It just had to make you feel good. So here’s a feel good song about an alien in a hamburger joint by Brownsville Station called The Martian Boogie. I have heard this was all done in one take which is incredible.

Yeah Chris, I grew up in the middle of cow country, our local radio station is actually WCOW and is all country music. All my older relatives listened to country and played a lot of it in their different bands. I guess that’s why I liked rock n roll so much because I didn’t want to listen to what the old people were listening to, that would be uncool. Listening to country music was like kissing a fat girl, nothing wrong with it, you just don’t want anyone to know about it, Lol. Truth is I like a lot of the older stuff like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Buck Owens. I don’t like much of the new pop-country stuff, it all sounds the same to me. Another old boy I really liked was Charlie Daniels. He had to tour with Rock acts starting out because the band had long hair and sang about subjects that were taboo in Nashville. I seen him in the late 70’s with (I believe) Journey and Cheap Trick, again some of the late 70’s and early 80’s are a little unclear. Talk about a shock to all of us that went to hear rock n roll, but they played great and really got the crowd going. So here is Charlie Daniels and his “Monster” hit The Devil Went Down To Georgia.

Oh I like that one Chris, I love the Twins but I like some heavier stuff every now and then. Here’s a band I was listening to a couple years ago. They are a family band, made up of 3 brothers and 2 sisters and managed by their father that have some really good rock covers. Kind of like a heavy metal Partridge family. Singer Melody Christea has a fantastic rock voice and I like watching her sister Abby beat the heck out of her drums. They kind of overdo the stage show a bit, especially with the hair but I like their sound. This is the band Liliac covering Metallica’s Enter Sandman.

Jung, B.C. is so beautiful from what I’ve seen, the ocean, lakes and mountains are majestic. On the map it looks twice the size of Texas which is amazing. I’ve been in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and it is breathtaking. My state of Wisconsin doesn’t have the mountains but we have a few natural wonders like the Mississippi river, Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, all amazing treasures of this place called Earth. The song you posted is a little emotional for me. I lost my pretty lady 9 years ago, I miss her everyday. A pretty woman may be the only thing better than a beautiful landscape. Good music is right up there too. It is a beautiful song I have never heard before, thanks for that one.

Hi Jung, I follow a BC family on their YouTube channel called Gridlessness. For the last 10 years they’ve been building an off grid homestead and raising 5 daughters near Prince George. I love watching their videos of living in the mountains, it looks like a very beautiful area. Some of the music they use for their videos is done by a local northern BC band called Last Horse Standing that play alternative country music and have produced a couple albums. I will submit this music video as a gem for this thread. Here is B.C. by Last Horse Standing.

Hi Jacki, I think this is the Bugs Bunny one you were thinking about with the vampire.

I’ll have to look those up. The Abbott and Costello one sounds familiar but I don’t recall the other. We still have 11 days until Halloween so I’m sure I will find a lot more to post. I’m going to look for a couple of the cartoon ones I remember if I can find them on YouTube. Do Canadians celebrate Halloween like we do in the States. In my area in Wisconsin it is generally trick or treating for the kids in the afternoon. Maybe a few house parties for kids too. Our high school put on a haunted house to raise money for school programs. They put on a mild version for kids and a scarier version for adults. They do a real good job, they have scared me before, I haven’t went for a few years. A few of the clubs have bands or DJs and have costume parties. I and my wife used to do them every year. At midnight they would pick winners and then most people revealed themselves. It was a lot of fun but I haven’t done it since she passed away in 2014.

Thanks Jacki, I was just reading Catherine O’hara bio on Wikipedia. I do remember her on quite a few movies and TV shows. I used to love the SCTV with John Candy and Martin Short. There were a bunch of great comedic actors that got their start there. I love all the old cartoons too. The writers and producers were so creative back in the day. The roadrunner and coyote were my favorites I think, and Sylvester and Tweety but they were all funny. I still like watching them on Boomerang. I will try to add you as a connection if I can figure out how to do that, thank you.
