Ghost on the highway ... title reminds me of a tear-jerker song, a person sees a little girl by the road, stops and gives her a ride home ... and she's not there anymore! goes to the door and the mom says he's the 20th person to give her daughter a ride home ... on the anniversary of her death. So he gave a ride to a ghost. Gosh they don't make tear-jerkers like they used to (which is probably a good thing).

Oh my goodness palisades, you just transported me to musical heaven! I’d never seen that performance before. Absolutely Exquisite!!! Tears:)))

As many times as I've heard "Mack the Knife" from the 1960s on, I never suspected that it was about murder or that Mack was a murderer, and I did not know that the lyrics were taken from Bertold Brecht's Die Dreigroschenoper, which I have both read and seen. I always thought "mack" was something you were supposed to do to a knife, similar to stropping. Now I'll never hear that song the same way again! Thanks, I guess👿 Here's a silly song, from the 1950s, I think: Not a great song, but on topic. I think that there are a lot of songs here that don't fit into other themes (so far), and I do like this time of year. Parties in San Francisco would start almost two weeks before Halloween when I lived there in the 1970s-80s, although in the late 1960s, New Year's Eve was the most popular holiday there, and that's when the best concerts used to happen.
