D'oh - I posted this in the wrong "Halloween" thread - it's for the party - I've moved it - 

Fair enough - I said I'd think about a Rocky Horror cover of some sort for halloween.

Wikipedia permits it (LOL) - it says this about halloween - 

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (or the related guising and souling),  attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, divination games, playing pranks,
visiting haunted attractions, telling scary stories, as well as watching horror films.

Well, it's more of a comedy I guess, although they did kill off 3 characters - Colombia, Magenta and Eddie (for which I'll NEVER forgive them - I mean, you don't do that to Meatloaf...  come on... LOL)

Anyway - here's my comedic tribute to "Over at the Frankenstein Place" - with a certain degree of artistic license - both in the video clips I found and indeed on the music itself, just played by ear, but it should just about be recognisable....

I seriously recommend not copying my mistakes. D'oh - guntohead.JPG

Please make your own, different mistakes, and help us all learn :-)

Pretty HOT!

This is really WONDERFUL! 

I have fond memories of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. 

It's great you joined the Halloween Party!

@BillyG 

Your post is perfect (didn't need Wikipedia to justify it laugh).  Great Job!  Liked the castle door intro/ending!  Thanks for joining the party!

@stringy -

 

 

Thanks for watching! 

Didn't you learn a Raven, or Black Bird tune a while back - maybe some tune to join this party with? 

I learned the Halloween Jig (very easy), don't know if I can record it tomorrow or not - little crazy around here.

I watched all your vids last night and thought I had to join in, I had a five minute slot when my lovely neighbours went out and read this one from o neils straight off, no time to do anything with it in fact they came back just as I was about to run through the second verse again so I had to cut it off and stop, better than nothing thoug,.I think I am back to square one now through lack of practice.

way to go @stringy ! sounds good!  I dont believe Ive heard this one before so thanks for jumping in and sharing a post.  Glad you got a chance to play.  You know..I know we want to be respectful to our neighbors but that works both ways.  you have as much a right to practice and live a life as they do.  Hopefully some type of system can be worked out where you can play more when both of your houses are up moving around.  easy for me to say all that, but I feel for your situation there and it seems theyre getting more than their share of the consideration from what youve shared.

Thanks Emily,

 Thanks tor the support Greg, especially with my neighbours, something will happen for the good, I am a great believer in good outcomes, eventually:). I will probably win the lottery. There is one positive even now, and that is that his old neighbours must be happy and thanful that they have gone.
