Frankenstein and some Skeletons - 'Tis the Season



I remember when Frankenstein hit the Midwest airwaves. I had no idea about the background of the song, however, until now. I also didn't know that Edgar was the first person to strap on keyboard. I love the mini banter session at the beginning of the video between Edgar and Rick Derringer. Goodness, such soft spoken gentlemen. Edgar Winter is so thin and elegantly pale; his hair just shimmers. Man, he can rock the glad rags too.



Ordinarily, a poem set to music is called a song. In this case, it's a poem accompanied by music. Timely piece.
