Thanks to Bert I started to play the guitar and its sad to read of his passing today.
I even appeared on the same Bill as Bert in 1964 at the Carlisle Club, Eccles.
What a Gent and what a supreme Showman and guitarist.
This was always one of my favourites of his - GHOST TRAIN.
Backing track is by Warren Bennett and Co - "Turned Out Nice Again" CD from Leos Den, with the "creaking door" intro and outro from t'interweb.
God Bless, Bert
cheers

Nice Tribute Ian, I must admit I don't know many of Bert's songs.
But I do remember "play in a day".
Good playing and backing and some very authentic sound effects.
Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil
You reminded me that I had forgotten to acknowledge the great BT that Warren had made for this track so I have amended my Post above.
cheers

A great record by Bert and I really enjoyed your version Ian - terrific guitar sound for this number.

When I heard the eerie footsteps and the creaking door I was waiting for the chilling laughter (or a blood curdling scream!!)

Excellent track Ian. I'm sure Bert would've given the thumbs up to your playing and the backing track!!

Hello Ian

Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed your interpretation.

Best wishes

Hello Roger, Martin and Tony (fastfingers) Szpala and thanks for listening.
Thank you for all the kind remarks. Bert was a guitar Hero of mine and instrumental (no pun intended) in getting me started. Also, having met him when I was 16 and then again some 45 years later, recording Ghost Train was a personal thing.
Glad you liked it.
BTW - the guitar was my Brason STRAT using a NECK + BRIDGE pickup selection. Makes it sound very "hollowbody".

It was a great tune well played by dear old Bert- always put me in mind as 'FBI ...PART 2'..

Ace Ian , A great tribute, super tone/playing

I with all of the others here Ian, great track, playing and sound and a lovely tribute to a great bloke.
