MA-80 - Boneyard Bash -- Celebrating Walpurgisnacht

Today, April 30, is Walpurgisnacht.

For most folks (like me), it’s just another excuse to celebrate the fun of creepiness.  So that means it’s time for an anthology of songs about the raise-the-dead aspects of Walpurgis Night.

02. The Capture of Bigfoot (3:23)

03. Modern Day Witches (2:55)

04. Suspended Animation (5:43)
