Tarantula Ghoul was Portland's vampy monster of ceremonies on House of Horror, a late night horror movie showcase on KPTV in the late 1950s. Taranch, as she was affectionately known to her fans, was played by Suzanne Waldron. Graveyard Rock was the flipside of Taranch's single released on Meadows Records. The song was written by B. Anson and J. Ralston. John Ralston was Suzanne's producer-writer for House of Horror. The A-side was "King Kong."

Graveyard Rock was the flip of King Kong possibly in 1957 or 1958 on
Meadows Records 2475. It's listed as being by Tarantula Ghoul And Her Gravediggers. There was a show called House of Horrors Show, which ran on KPTV 12 in Portland Oregon from from October 1957 - November 1958, which was hosted by Suzanne an Waldren also known as Tarantula Ghoul.

A little bit of information about KPTV: KPTV was Portland's first TV station and started on UHF channel 27, it was the first commercial UHF channel in the US. It moved to VHF channel 12 in 1957.

"Everyday" was written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty and originally released in the fall of 1957 as the B-side to what would become one of Buddy's biggest selling singles, "Peggy Sue". The simplicity of the song is striking and added much to its appeal. Buddy is playing acoustic guitar and performing the vocals, Jerry Allison is slapping his hands on his lap for percussion, and Joe B. Mauldin is playing bass. Norman Petty's wife, Vi, is playing a keyboard instrument called a celeste which is typically used in classical pieces like "The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker". Buddy Holly died tragically in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959 along with Richie Valens and the Big Bopper.

Johnny Cash - Ghost Riders In The Sky (Live - 1987)

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
On horses snorting fire
As they ride on hear their cry

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
