Subject: RE: Bring on the dirges
Hi, Barbara and all:

That absolutely smashing "Grave Digger's Song" is actually titled "Dust to Dust" (my error) and was written and recorded by John Kirkpatrick. Someone told him there were no tunes in the Locrian mode, since it was "the Devil's mode," so he said to himself, "There soon will be!" and wrote the wonderfully appropriate song. It's on his Trailer album (we have the vinyl. I don't if a CD has ever been made of it) titled Jump at the Sun -- LER 2033.

Have I learned how to post tunes? Lord, no! I've just got adding italics and bold, plus "break" figured out, thanks to Joe's helpful guidance. Maybe some of the genuine genii that post to this forum can help.

Sandy
