Show Notes

The Penn Mckee Hotel is real, and its use in the 1980s as a residence hotel is accurate.

Music

Dead Mans Hollow atmospherics created by Connor Sites-Bowen for the show. ‘Death and the Mortal’, which plays underneath the physical visit to Ms. Elmira, is a very light rewrite of ‘Death and the Lady’, traditional, attested in the 1940s. ‘Danny Boy’ was written in 1913 by Frederick Weatherly, to a traditional Irish tune, and the recording used is from the public domain, having been popularized during World War I.

Enormous thanks to the artists of the past, whose musings were eternal then, and are lovingly reinterpreted here.
