Hello out there! Hoping you’ve all had a wonderful year so far. I am excited for the Halloween season to begin. In the meantime, a suggestion for all of you. Re-watch the classic film Jaws! It is the perfect summer horror movie. Lots of beach scenes and it takes place over the 4th of July weekend. If you have a pool, rent a projector and host a Jaws summer movie screening party.

Not only was the music incredible and new, this pop culture phenomenon was taking the world by storm. The jacket, the glove, the music, the dance moves! People were imitating him in the streets, on TV, in the playgrounds! When I first heard “Thriller”, I thought this is awesome…a Horror, Halloween type song on the radio by the biggest music star of the time.
