The Ledge #739: Halloween

I've always said that Halloween is the ultimate rock and roll holiday, and it's only natural that every year I do a show devoted to that great evening. Tonight's the night, and it's chock full of greatness. Our pals at Rum Bar Records and Big Stir have fabulous contributions. Regular Ledge buddies Vista Blue, The Goldstars, and others have special tunes for the occasion, and there's great Halloween-inspired albums by the likes of Twin Temple, The Carts, Zombina & The Skeletones, and The Dahmers. There's plenty of ghosts, vampires, zombies and other creatures that is perfect to play for the trick or treaters!

Plus, I also chat for a few minutes about the great honor of being inducted into the South Dakota Rock & Rollers Hall of Fame. It was a super special evening, and I appreciate everyone who has reached out to congratulate me.
