I have a small traditional radio show here in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoons. For next Sunday's show I'd like to play a few selections loosely connected with either Samhain or Halloween. They could be either tunes or songs as long as there is a little bit of a tie-in. Any suggestions?
Although its a recent composition, Jump At the Sun has about the spookiest sound of any traditional-sounding tune I know. Its pretty commonly done at contradances around here (Denver).
Thank you all for the suggestions! I was able to find seven selections from your lists among my CD collection! And one was from John Vesey, a Philadelphia-based musician which will make his family happy (I hope)! I will give special mention to the session website for the assistance.
Thanks, Bud! Actually I have both of those and Sean Tyrrell is appearing locally here in two weeks so it fits in nicely with the ad I'm running for his concert!

No, it's a small am station out of Camden, NJ (right over the bridge from Philly). WTMR - 800 am. The show airs from noon til 1:00.

Not necessarily traditional but "Mischievous Ghost" from the Bringing It All Back Home series and "Mattie" from Sean Tyrrell's Cry of A Dreamer.
