Hi everyone!

Our duo currently performs at Sheraton Hotel and Towers in Hong Kong and the outlet is an American restaurant/bar. The management decided to decorate the bar accordingly to the Halloween night and also recomended me to perform some special songs for that special evening. Could you please inspire me with some right selection as I am almost clueless.
Many thanks to all of you!! Please excuse my english!
Always yours, Flavie.

Flavi,
I visited your site and you have a great list of songs that you play. I have to say that Mary is a knockout. Sorry I can't help with the Holloween thing. Maybe Monster Mash by Boris Karloff?

Hi Flavi,

Excellent Web site.

Are you a husband / wife team?

I always play Haunted House.
Also there's a country song named "Ghost In This House". Not scary but the title and hook line fits.

"I Put A Spell On You Creedence Clearwater Revival"

VERY good song to do for sure...just make sure you don't use the creedence version as your foundation. A husband wife could pull this off great, just also make sure you have a SOLID bass tone backing you up ( even perhaps some reverb on the drumwork )...otherwise it can just fall apart.

Anyhow this is Halloween, so go nuts...perhaps do some stuff like the Hitchcock theme, or monsters theme, twilight zone, even Adams family. Even if you just use that stuff to trans between your main songs. Other then that check out some horror/sci-fi movie soundtracks, you don't have to scream a predictability insulting "monster mash" at someone to set a mood.

Past all that...just take whatever songs YOU enjoy doing already, and give them a darker tilt for the night. Way quicker to adjust something you know to fit in with a mood...then to learn a top twenty overplayed song list.

Thank you all veeeeerrry much!!!

Hey Krbrkr, thank you for the long list . I sure will impress the audience with those songs!!
Regarding my partener, yes we are married and I am very happy about that! In February we will celebrate 10 years since we start performing together and in July will be 5 years of marriage. God has been very kind to me.
I love this forum and you all( my wife just said "hello" to everyone!) but I am a bit shy to post due to my broken english. However, I am every day with you trying to absorb as much as I can of your experience. Music is one of my passions but first of all I love to play for people, to make them happy, which I think this makes the difference between a musician and an entertainer. I love to entertain. Once again many thanks to you all and with your permission I will try to be more present as a poster.
Best regards!! Flavi.

Flavie,
Post Away!!!

A few nights ago, I was reading your posts in the Ketron forum. You made some good points and gave AJ some good examples.

There is nothing wrong with your english. Even if there was, there's a bunch of fine people out here from all over that can help assist any of us with communicating.

You and Mary do a really good job. I enjoyed the old Monty Python tune "Always look on the bright side of life".

Halloween:
Like Ender4TrackMind said,Theme from the show Adams Family and the theme from the show Munsters would be 2 tunes that should work out nicely. They have been played world-wide and you'll probably get good participation from the audience when its time to do the finger snapping in the Adams Family song. And I can already hear in my mind, you playing that Munsters theme on the piano.

Have Fun!

I just discovered a fun Halloween song written by Buck Owens (1974) called: "It's A Monster's Holiday". I bet DonM knows this one I look forward performing it for the first time on my Halloween gigs this year. The kids should like this one:

Chorus:
Frankenstein was the first in line
And the Wolfman came up next
Dracula was a doing his stuff
a Breathing down my neck
Jump back, make tracks, here comes the Hunchback
Better get out of his way
Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
It was a Monster's Holiday

Verse 1:
Well I hoped into bed and I covered up my head
Said I'm Going to get a good night's sleep
I got Woke up about 12:00
and I jumped up to my feet

There were gremlins and goblins
dragons and zombies
lawdy what an awful sight
I said good buddy you may get me
But brother let me tell you it's gonna be after the fight

(CHORUS):

Verse 2:
Uncle Bill well he took ill
And they sent for me to come
Well I had to pass by the old graveyard
So I went on the run

There was screaming and moaning
Wailing & groaning
Scary as a mummy's curse
I said good buddy you may get me
But brother let me tell you that you're going to have to catch me first

(CHORUS)


Scott

I love Buck Owens Scott! Thanks! Good one.

EDIT: Man, this is perfect for what I want. I've been snooping around at country bars to do a crazy Halloween gig. Stuff like that Buck Owens is perfect.

Marie Laveau by Bobby Bare is too.
Witchy Woman
Love Potion #9
The Ride by David Allan Coe
Ghost Riders In The Sky
