Classic Halloween for Solo Guitar

Just the thing for a hobgoblin hoedown ...

Pick or Treat (L. Zabel)

The Glenn Miller classic adapted for 'spooky strings' ...

Swingin' at the Seance (Avey/Carnice/Stone)

A guitar rendition of Cab Calloway's "Minor Moaner" featuring his red hot hoochie coocher.

Minnie the Moocher (Calloway/Mills)

"The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad" is a 1949 animated package film produced by Walt Disney Productions & released by RKO Radio Pictures.

The song, "The Headless Horseman" is sung by Brom Bones aka Bing Crosby. Here's my guitar interpretation.

The Headless Horseman (Raye/DePaul)

This was Louis Armstrong's specialty number featured in the 1936 film, "Pennies from Heaven", starring Bing Crosby. Listen closely & you can hear the bones rattlin'!

Skeleton in the Closet (Johnston/Burke)

"HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" to One & All.

A mischievous, marvelous & mysterious mix of magical music! (the Evil Queen would be proud!)

Art from Walt Disney's 1937 "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". 

Witches Brew (L. Zabel)

Best known as Alfred Hitchcock's theme music. Just in time for October!

Funeral March of a Marionette (C. Gounod)

Another pre-Halloween treat. Recording it was more fun than a barrel of flying monkeys!

Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead (Harburg/Arlen)

A tune pieced together from discarded song elements, riffs, runs and fills. The result... well, IT'S ALIVE!

Frankenditty (L. Zabel)

They're restless tonight...

Happy Halloween!

Spook's Night Out (L. Zabel)

A "skeletal" framework of riffs is the foundation for this spooky improvisation ...

Creepy Concerto (L. Zabel)

Had a good time "digging up" this creepy 8 bar blues classic. Just in time for Halloween ...

St. James Infirmary (Traditional)

I've been puttering around with the guitar for a number of years and thought it was high time to launch some of these musical musings into cyberspace. My Acoustic Ovation Classical Balladeer guitar (purchased in 1973) has always been the perfect vehicle for such creative meanderings.

The goal of these "cyber-concertos" is for the enthusiast to sit back and allow his/her mind to "float downstream". All of my recordings are on-the-spot "raw" (unmixed & unedited). Here's hoping you fancy my finger frolics half as much as I enjoy creating and arranging them!
