  • @VorswellMusic If you don't mind me asking, what inspired you to revamp this piece? Where did you first hear the original? Just curious.

  • @bencamp18 Hi there! Thank you for asking. Gorgeous old folk tune, isn't it? You can read all about my inspiration for my Halloween Carols, including "Ghost of John" being a catalyst, on my website under the "About Kristen" section.

    "Ghost of John" only has one traditional verse, so I wrote four more verses.

  • this song is very beautiful.

  • Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?

    No.

    Because your skin has nerves that sense the cold.

    I'm not hating, I'm just saying.

  • this is now john marstons theme....

  • I grew up with this song.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

  • @VorswellMusic Thank you. I wondered if your experience was similar to mine. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday but I always found my experience of it in the religion-choked Bible belt lacking. It was always preached against in the youth groups I attended as evil and Satan-invoking and I felt guilty for liking it. But my school music teacher would put on her LP with GOJ and I would get a little taste of what makes this season so great.

  • Have you seen the ghost of john?

    long white bones and the skin all gone...

    oooooooooooOOOoooo

    wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?

  • @ssppeellll Thanks!
