My questions is; does anyone ells remember seeing this at Coker Corner? I wonder if that was Alan Thompson Jr. and if that Haunted Mansion tune was ever available on CD? It does not look like it was on the Four Hand Piano CD. Does anyone out there know what I’m talking about?

If you're just interested in "Bumble Boogie," the easiest version to find is the 1961 hit by B. Bumble and the Stingers. Go to Oldies.com and do a search for "B. Bumble". They have a dirt-cheap Greatest Hits CD called "Golden Classics Edition" (lousy cover but excellent sound quality). They also have the track on one of those old-fashioned 45 thingys - with Anita Bryant's "Paper Roses" on the flip for reasons I can't begin to comprehend. If you want it mansionized, I'm afraid assistance will have to come from elsewhere.
