Thanks for the wonderful write-up! I grew up in Chicago and Resurrection Mary was famous. There used to be a Chicago Ghost Tour and the bar by Resurrection Cemetery was a stop (one might be surprised how many Chicago ghost legends involve a bar). Steve Goodman also does a fun “splatter platter” (that is now MY favorite name for this genre) medley on the Live section of his Anthology album/CD that includes Teen Angel, Tell Laura I Love Her, and Laurie.

My pleasure, Bernadine! I didn't know anything about this song before you requested it, and now I'm really into it.
And I'm can't say I'm *totally* surprised to learn how many Chicago ghost legends involve a bar, hahaha.
