I have to take a picture of it. My mom made all our costumes and I was a witch right out of the Grim Fairy tales. I wore a dress and I have my Bavarian sweater which was so warm and perfect. I had my long blond hair and my mom made my witches hat with a spider made from those twists..I forgot the name of them. She created my witches nose from bandaids and even put a wart on it with hair (from my mom) sticking out of it. I won best costume that year in the small town that had this kids' festivity. As an adult, I loved my viking outfit. Again my mom made my chest and shield armour from cardboard and shiny wallpaper along with arm bands. My hat, the same plus she created the Brunhilde horns. It was a fun costume. <br />Now, listening to them all, I am going with the 2nd song...the witch as I liked the style of it the best.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-36944773895387258602022-10-01T21:05:32.820-07:002022-10-01T21:05:32.820-07:006-Gun, talkie was my reaction, but the words are p...6-Gun, talkie was my reaction, but the words are pretty good.<br /><br />A vote for <b>Roky Erickson</b>.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-55714096913688896972022-10-01T21:04:39.825-07:002022-10-01T21:04:39.825-07:00Alex, I figured you'd have this reaction.

He was so creative, talented and funny! In fact, because his personality and wit were so outstanding, his phenomenal guitar playing got overshadowed and was vastly underrated. Stafford would be on my short list of 'Most Talented' entertainers I've ever seen. <br /><br />There's STILL an album by Jim that I had on LP but which has never been released on CD. If I ever saw that on a CD, I'd buy it in a heartbeat, without the slightest reservation.<br /><br />To make matters even better, from everything I've ever seen and heard about Jim Stafford, apparently he's every bit as nice and personable behind the scenes as he was on stage and in front of the camera. He's one of very few celebrities that I'd love to meet someday.<br /><br />Great BOTB concept, but my vote is as easy as eating bread: JIM all the way, every day, and twice on Sundays!!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents BATTLE OF THE BANDS</a></b>Stephen T.

I was as a kid but that's only because I was more of a fan of the candy I hoped to get. :) I won't be dressing up and while we usually have fun watching creepy movies and snacking on sweets, we keep our porch light off to dissuade trick or treaters. In this round I'm going with <b>Jim Stafford</b>. Here's to keeping ghosts, swamp witches, and vampires away Halloween night or any night for that matter. <br /><br />Oh yeah, don't worry about adding your signature link. I usually spot the hold on your comment to approve. I don't know why WP does that.
