It seems appropriate on Halloween to bring you a song about one of the scariest things facing us…the possibility of the worst president in history getting re-elected next week and carrying out his plan to destroy the country. Join us in a little whistling past the graveyard as we hope for the best.

A few weeks ago I told you about a new Substack project by Douglas Imbrogno, and old friend and key player in the creation of this blog. Allow me to repeat myself, in case you missed it.

Doug’s new Substack is called Notes Before You Vote, hosted by AMP Media, and it’s a bit of an outlet for him to express overtly political thoughts and musings without intruding on his other projects like WestVirginiaVille and TheStoryIsTheThing.

Here’s what Doug told me about this project…

At the DNC, Michelle Obama exhorted us to “do something,” while Tim Walz urges us “to get in the game,” with under 60 days to the election. Here’s my doing something.

Notes Before You Vote is a collection of short videos compiled and created by Doug that are filled with pertinent, thought-provoking tidbits of information in an easy-to-digest bite-sized form, perfect for sharing on social media.  As the home page says, these are “Some important things to consider before you cast your vote for the future direction of America in the Nov. 5 Presidential Election.”

Today we’re bringing you a music video (seen at the top of this post) that Doug created for his old friend (and mine), Paul Calicoat. Doug writes extensively about Paul’s song HERE.  About Paul, Doug writes…

Paul Callicoat is a fabulous West Virginia singer-songwriter and one of the state’s finest lyricists and turners-of-musical-phrases. Paul’s soulfulness and heart is all over his music.

This is just one of the many songs and videos you can find at Notes Before You Vote .
