Halloween Countdown - Day 11 - "(I Don't Stand) A Ghost of a Chance" (1938)



Our Halloween countdown remains in 1938 for one more song, this time the standard "(I Don't Stand) A Ghost of a Chance."

The song was introduced by co-writer Bing Crosby in 1932, but since we're going instrumental, here's a nice version by trumpet/cornet star Bobby Hackett on Vocalion Records:



I realize that "ghost" is used as an expression in this song and it's not about a supernatural spirit, but it is haunting nonetheless!
