New Canaan Music & Triple Coil – Halloween Song 2014
As always, the video above was shot “on location” in New Canaan. This Halloween, we are sharing an original tune from Phil and Jim at New Canaan Music, featuring NCHS seniors Dan Antoniu and Kyle Street from Triple Coil. The video also features contributions to our Facebook page from Craig H, Juliet H and Kristen S (thanks guys) and Halloween scenes from residences around town. Special thanks to John E and to Ann and Lou Kozar of New Canaan Bicycles, whose Seminary Street home provide a great backdrop for much of our video, and a special Happy 8th Birthday wish to Jacob Kozar! Enjoy, everyone, and have a safe and Happy Halloween.
