Just started working on the HELLOWEEN IV mix-disc !!! Due to major issues last season, I was unable to complete & distribute the annual treat. With that, I have lots of goodies collected through-out the 2-year time frame since last edition. My FAVORITE holiday !!

No Halloween would be complete without the sounds of at least one CRAMPS tune. Another HUGE fav of mine, as this band opened my ears to the odd, demented & rare '50s/60s gems. They actually took some of these lesser known tunes & added their psycho-twist on them! During my college days, I got to meet and become friends with Lux's brother Mike. He played in a band called The Walking Clampetts that played the Northeast Ohio circuit. One night, at a sleazy punk rock bar, on the bad side of town, in the cold winter-time near Christmas..... Lux and Poison Ivy showed up to see The Clampetts... stood right next to them...rockin' thru the nite!


Here's The Cramps:

And here's their inspiration:
