I think this little fellow would be more into Lovecraft, perhaps “The Rats in the Walls”?
I love the delicate way he’s holding his cookie.
Storytime!
“Little Shop of Hamsters”! LOL ?
R.L. Stine’s hamsters aren’t so cute…

Oh such a cute rattie! Looks just like my Daisy who used to sit on my shoulder while I did my homework.
Those pawsies and those earsies – so pink, so small!! Squeeee!!!!! He reminds me of this little guy from one of my favorite movies:
This reminds me to tell you – I sang my Halloween song for an audience of 15 this past Sunday – I told them to not think of it as a performance but as being told a story – reminder: the song is called “Tam Lin”, a Scottish ballad that is really exciting and very long – it took me half an hour to sing it. Lots of faeries and an elfin prince and murky scenery – I had mentioned it last week and some had expressed some interest into how it turned out. The people I invited were non-folkies, mostly artists of some description – the song’s imagery is so beautiful. It seemed to well appreciated, I’m happy to report – nobody walked out!
Good to hear that it was well received.
Oh, that was me Murray! So glad to hear it was a success; what a special night, I bet they won’t ever forget it. 🙂
Your performance must have been terrific if people stayed to listen to one song for half an hour.
It’s a really compelling song/story – I sang it unaccompanied, so very plain – as I say, as if someone is telling you a story. The only think I forgot to tell them was to wear their jammies!
Congrats! Thanks for reporting back!
Did you sing it in the approved folk club manner, holding a pint of beer in one hand?
I’m afraid not – in order to remember all the lyrics I dared not drink too much! And I didn’t cup my hand around my ear either – everyone was very quiet – no snoring, tho’!!!
Mike, there’s something wrong with your website. Either leprechauns or aliens have taken it over and changed it to “Flurnston Boils’ House of Horror”!
I’m letting my friend Flurnston take over the site for Halloween. It’s his favorite time of year, and he doesn’t get as many paying gigs as the old days, so I said he could hang out and share some of his favorite ghost stories tomorrow. Stay tuned, chill-seekers!
Oooooh, I can’t wait!!! I snort-laughed when I saw the header. Love the second line “and vintage accordion repair”
