Nice performance. Fun to play with the acoustics like that. I got to do it recently in Toledo Ohio's cathedral organ. It's also fun to whistle this kind of music in certain mountain areas, trying to blend the harmonic echos.

I have not had a trick-or-treater in years. That does not stop me from buying candy just in case.

My neighbors are cannibalistic child soul stealing people so no Trick or treaters here.
I'm a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess.

It's kind of weird, there are a lot of kids around my fairly densely packed city neighborhood but hardly any trick-or-treating on my street. I was planning to be out of the house by 6-6:30 so didn't buy any candy. Didn't end up leaving 'til 8 but by that time only one group of three kids had knocked on my door.
I worry about the neighbor kids across the street. they have two boys who are prime trick-or-treating age (the oldest appears to be 9-10 and the younger is 6-8) but they didn't have costumes and spent the evening standing around on their porch, apparently waiting to hand out candy if anyone came by. Don't know why they weren't out themselves.
Weird family dynamic there. Dad seems really friendly as does mom. Mom's morbidly obese so she's not going to be walking the kiddos around the neighborhood. They seem to argue a lot, too. At least, I hear mom yelling at dad pretty frequently, and occasionally at the kids. He's a soft-spoken guy so never hear him yelling.

Not sure how many but it was over 50 as we went through almost 6 bags of candy. I didn't remember that many last year.

We almost ran out of candy and we did run out of the 52 insulated cups we got to hand out spiked cider and hot buttered rum to adults. We probably went through another 30-40 doubled up paper cups after that (some were also used for non-spiked cider and hot chocolate for the kids). We went through all of one of those big jugs of spiced rum.

My place is in the sticks, so none at home. But Hood River closes off the main drag in the trendy downtown, and it turns into a sea of costumes and candy at every bidness's front door. I took my boy and after one lap, his candy bag was pretty freakin' heavy. It was actually pretty fun, saw a lot of great costumes.
My favorite was the guy suited up as the classic green army man. Green everything, and oddly shiny like plastic, including face and hands of course. He had a kidney bean shaped piece of plywood, also painted green, he carried to use as his 'base', and an assortment of props (not including bazoooka  ) he'd use. He'd plop the board down, grap a prop, assume the proper pose for the prop (binoculars, radio, or grenade), and then go into statue mode. It was very cool and pretty hilarious.

We moved into this house @ the end of Sept./beginning of Oct. last yr., & I bought a bunch of candy & set it outside the front door on Halloween & took off (I'm not a "kid person"). I left the front door light on, & there were orange string lights in the windows. When I returned later in the evening, the bowl of candy appeared untouched. Score! 
This yr. I didn't bother w/any candy, & we took off for a Halloween party around 7:30pm. We had no kids before or after the party, & saw none on the streets until we got down to the base of the hill where there was some sort of event going on w/bright lights & a giant blow-up slide thing. Lots of kids there.
This little 'hood is very dark, & mostly occupied by older people who are probably old enough to have kids too old to trick-or-treat. One thing's for sure--I know @ least it's not cold or wet weather around here that keeps the kids away!
