I discovered this piece while looking for music to play in the background of my wife's D&D campaign. We had heard rumors of a haunted piano bar, so I looked for ghost-themed music and came across Bolcom's 3 Ghost Rags. I had played the Graceful Ghost when I was much younger, but hadn't realized it was part of a series of 3.
The piano bar ended up not being haunted, but instead was in a time loop. When the three rags played all the way through, the loop would end with a catastrophic meteor strike killing everyone in the bar and we'd start again and had to figure out how to escape the loop. It ended up being because the pianist had made a deal with a demon to become the "greatest pianist of all time" and we had to destroy the piano and then defeat a crazy aberration hidden in the basement.
Anyway, I really liked "Poltergeist", so I decided to learn it. The ending could be... a little more polished, but I decided this take was good enough. It's got a cat, after all.
