There was talk of favorite Halloween songs among my friends and I have quite a few favorite tunes. I thought I would start sharing with a real oldie from 1936 by The 5 Jones Boys (not really all brothers, and not really named Jones.)

Last night I played the first of my 3 Yusef Lateef double discs (thanks Keith) and whilst playing I had a read of the microscopic liner notes and for the 1st album, we have a guy playing the balloon and another playing a 7 Up bottle (among other instruments) and I wondered how on earth one plays a balloon.

All was revealed on track 3. That is what we used to do as kids when blowing up balloons :).

BTW I've always loved hearing the flute and Lateef is clearly a master of this instrument.
