Ghost
A ghost is the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that is believed to be able to appear to the living. In ghostlore, descriptions of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike forms. The deliberate attempt to contact the spirit of a deceased person is known as necromancy, or in spiritism as a ''séance''. Other terms associated with it are apparition, haunt, phantom, poltergeist, shade, specter or spectre, spirit, spook, wraith, demon, and ghoul. The belief in the existence of an afterlife, as well as manifestations of the spirits of the dead, is widespread, dating back to animism or ancestor worship in pre-literate cultures. Certain religious practices—funeral rites, exorcisms, and some practices of spiritualism and ritual magic—are specifically designed to rest the spirits of the dead. Ghosts are generally described as solitary, human-like essences, though stories of ghostly armies and th ...

Satchmo In Style
''Satchmo in Style'' is a 1959 studio album by Louis Armstrong, arranged by Gordon Jenkins. Reception The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album two stars and said that "...the jazz content is minimal and the music is plagued by the rather dated charts and a rather nauseating choir on over half of the tracks. Likewise, the strings (when present) are overbearing and haven't stood the test of time as well as Armstrong's warm vocals and still potent trumpet, though he isn't featured as a trumpeter all that much." Dryden praised Armstrong's duet with Velma Middleton on "You're Just In Love", and "I Want a Butter and Eggman". Track listing # "Blueberry Hill" (Vincent Rose, Al Lewis, Larry Stock) – 2:54 # " It's All In the Game" (Carl Sigman, Charles Dawes) – 3:24 # "Jeannine (I Dream of Lilac Time)" (Nathaniel Shilkret, L.
