Halloween weekend, and there are costumes everywhere. I particularly love seeing the kids come to the door, and the grown-ups in full drag everywhere in the evening. Walking the streets, in the supermarkets. It is so much fun to step out of your comfort zone. Imaginative, fun, sexy; this year’s fare includes Angry Birds, Black Swans, Snooki, Lady GaGa, Waldo, Charlie Sheen. Of course there are all the old stand-bys, pirates and ghosts and witches and such. And don’t forget, with white face, black eyes and a drizzle of blood, an everyday outfit can be zombie-ized. Out in California this past July 4th weekend, I was among the perennial parties-goers that attend the High Sierra Music Festival. There were Merry Pranksters and gypsies, and lots of ethereal wings on the women with hippie threads (and it wasn’t even Halloween yet!). Yes, wings are big business this year.

We get our wings today from Tasmanian, by way of England, Ange Boxall. She spends quite a bit of time stateside these days, as she is especially drawn to Nashville. Actually she always seems to be traveling somewhere. Of late, she has been doing some shows under the moniker of Take Three Girls along with Sara Petite and Brigitte DeMeyer, angels all. They are in Moreno Valley, California tonight. Ange’s latest album Writing Letters came out earlier this year, but when she came to see us for the Fall Music Fog Marathon in Nashville a couple of weeks ago, she played us a brand new tune. Tom Mason and Bones Hillman accompany her here on “Fireflies.” Have fun this weekend and get home safe.
