"Why Halloween, Don?" Why, indeed?
“Why Halloween, Don?” Why, indeed?
The earth starts settling into its yearly hibernation and sends us toward winter with one last glorious blast!
Brisk inhales and steamy exhales. Homecomings and goings.
An Indian summer butting up to a first freeze.
Fireplace fires and bonfires and leaf fires, the sweet smell of decay.
The cozy aloneness of ravens and scarecrows, winds and whispers, songs and singers. The festive togetherness of pumpkin patches, corn mazes, hayrides, haunted woods or houses.
And death itself. Mysterious and inevitable, as glorious as birth.
Like all the Zombies before us, and those yet to come, we have a short time to have a cry, share a laugh, to run off, to walk on, to sleep in, to hang out, to drink up, to chow down, to long for love, and to love long. AND to trick or treat!
Grammy Award winner Don Henry’s songs have been recorded by legends such as Ray Charles, Patti Page and Conway Twitty; and by today’s hitmakers such as Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and Kathy Mattea. Wit and wisdom grace Don’s songs, from campfire favorites, to the poignant tribute to Martin Luther King, “Beautiful Fool;” or, of course, the Grammy award-winning country classic, “Where’ve You Been?” Expect an exceptional evening of music and humor. donhenry.com
