I've already posted this in the Folk and Traditional music group, but I think it deserves a wider audience - a brilliant transcription of Morricone's music for the movie "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" by the Danish Symphony Orchestra.

Wow! I learn and hear so much on this site!

(What is that instrument that looks suspiciously like a water radiator?)

I believe it is a tubular xylophone, or a close relative thereof.

@Petter That sounds logical.

@pixiedust Must be from years of designing complex relay operated logic control circuitry.

Hey Peter, I love Ennio so much I put him in by Bio!
That was wonderful!!
I also love the spagetti western genre. I really admire Clint Eastwood in the role of the man with no name, however he is a dissappointment to me as a human being. His politics, and world view are an abomination to me.

Did you know that the vast majority were not filmed in Italy (Spaghetti land) but in Spain, mostly about 45 minutes drive from where I live. Often, in these movies, I recognise the area. Many of the extras in the film were played by local people I knew.
(I use the past tense as many have since died or moved away.) Famous films like Lawrence of Arabia and the Guns of Navarone were also shot on location here.

@Petter Oh yes..I know the history intimately...always interested in this stuff...think I am a cowboy! ??

WOW! Years ago we played a bonfire for a University of Texas football team. We did a song my brother wrote called 'The Outlaw Song.' In the middle of the song we played The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly. The UT marching band was in front of us, facing us. When we got to the G,B, &U they played it with us impromptu. It was fucking awesome and very moving. Thanks for bringing back that memory. ?

I really happy it revived such memories. 🙂

What a great story!

@pixiedust It was really cool. Since they were facing us we got the full power of this huge band.

@Sticks48 Some memories can brighten a cloudy day, can't they?

@pixiedust They certainly can. ☺

@Petter ??

Thank you. Quite amazing. Savage, as I like to say.

I much prefer this to the "celebrity" noise and microphone gargling, so much of which passes for music these days.

@Petter Absolutely. Today's music and musicians appear to be manufactured. They just come off a conveyer belt.
