Ruby Slippers is carrying on the time honoured tradition of Electric Boogaloo's annual SPOOKTACULAR show for Halloween.

Gotta tell you, there is enough music for this show on the computer to fill another hard drive (yes, I have a problem) but this is the list I came up with.  Apologies to Warren Zevon. And Ghostbees.

When Time Will Slow Down ... Mother Leads * (new)
Awhoooooo...The Lad Mags *

Yes, I know it's ambitious. Yes I know it's too long. Maybe Stylistics will be late...

Thanks for listening and remember: be safe out there.
