5 on Friday - Set 141





Travis at Trav's Thoughts invites everyone to lay down a short set of music that takes their fancies for his 5 on Friday meme.

My Spooky Stories Author series continues throughout October here at A Piece of My Mind.

That's some great stuff. My earliest introduction to classical music was Bugs Bunny cartoons and Fantasia.
