Staples had a sense of humor.

I hope my Dad sees this (an oldie but goodie).  He went to one of his concerts.

Happy Halloween!

One of the things I love about KISS is that they're so grateful to this country and their fans.  Here's Gene Simmons at his fundraiser for the Wounded Warrior Project.

What a find! I was over at iTunes today and found this....

  

Here's the story behind the album, from www.doombuggies.com.  

By the early sixties, Walt Disney Productions had developed an extensive collection of eerie sound effects for various productions - among them the Haunted Mansion attraction for Disneyland. In 1964, possibly in anticipation of an imminent opening of the attraction (which was still being called the "Haunted House" on occasion at that point in its development), Disneyland Records released "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House" 

This collection of sound effects and "stories in sound" contains some of the sound effects which can be heard on the actual Haunted Mansion ride soundtrack. On side one, a no-nonsense female narrator (voiced by an uncredited Laura Olsher, who recorded voices for other Disney records as well) sets up various situations, and then the sound effects take over and tell the story, usually with an ironic gag at the end of the track. Most of the tracks are fairly silly (though one of them is insensitive to cultural norms). The first track ("The Haunted House"), however, is classic audio heard in Halloween spook houses around the world.
