I have finished the one-minute piece for Hallow-e'en. It's called Going Guising, and my partner Barry has painted two pictures for the project. One is my (TheGuiser) avatar (the skull) and the other is the album artwork (the moon). In a couple of days, you can vote for your favourite Scary Hallow-e'en music.
Guising had become a tradition for children in Scotland by the end of the 19th century. Originally they dressed as spirits of the dead and carried lanterns made out of scooped out turnips to get cakes, fruit or money from the houses they visited. Burns wrote a long poem about Hallow-e'en that describes the old traditions.
