Ennio Morricone - For love one can die (D'amore si muore) with Saxophone and Organ. I do enjoy organs with different instruments and Morricone.

If you like the Music of Morricone you will probably love this - The Spaghetti Western Orchestra, live at the BBC Proms at 2011. They are good, not bad and maybe ugly...

Glad you posted this... it's been a favorite of mine for quite some time. I would tell anyone that it's worth the hour-plus to watch the whole thing.
One of my favorite parts is the heavy metal "guitar" solo in "Farewell to Cheyenne," which starts at about 11:00, using one of the more unique stringed instruments you'll ever see.

So yes, I am about to post a Nine Inch Nails song here...and the narrator will mention that I will get flak...
[Narrator: They will crucify you for this..]
So time for some total truth with my surrogate Fogbow family...
My teenage years with my family was shit, like any other kid, yet in the 7th grade I turned to drug dealing to make money. Why you ask? Because I would turn to smoking heroine to forget about my family issues [there where a lot], and selling weed funded my heroine habit. Eventually my friend and and I would kick our habit by having his sister locking us in his parent's finished basement for a week while his parents were out of town, this was when we were in the 10th grade.
Now comes my Senior year, things at home have gotten worse, and I have started to hit the foil again...then comes out the Downward Spiral by NIN...and this song wakes me up to my addiction, moreover to the fact that I have and opiate addiction...I can't say I've never done opiates since, but indeed I was done using them on a regular basis...today I can say it's been years since I last used an opiate.
Well, without much ado here's the song...for some of you turn down the volume...

Why “flak”? It’s not my cup of tea, but the song spoke to you when you needed it; that’s a good thing. You’ve achieved something an awful lot of people sadly never manage. Respect.

My brother left me this album as he went off to the Air Force and a Viet Nam.
This song scared me spitless of heroin, never was tempted to try it:

Fun Fact #1 My dad joined the USAF after getting a draft card for the Army...he was assigned as a gunner on an AC-130 and stationed at Da Nang a few months before the Tet Offensive...whoops...John Thomas8 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2024 9:47 pm My brother left me this album as he went off to the Air Force and a Viet Nam.

Fun Fact #2 As I said my family life was bad, my parents saw them failing with my older brother who dropped out and left when he was 16 [the subtext here was he was arrested for vandalizing a school and dad told him if you can't live by my rules you won't live in my house, Michael packed his shit and left the next day], I was 15 at the time and I think that led to my parents going into overdrive to make me "successful" in their eyes.
On my last day of high school, I left for exotic Parris Island SC for boot camp [the reason I left that night is another long story [narrator: they are already bored with this one, so wrap it up], at the age of 17, at this point in my life I hated my parents so much, I never intended to have contact with them again. Sure they showed up at my graduation, I couldn't stop that and had to meet with them, but my plan was to do 20 to 25 years in the Corps, retire, and never see them again.
It would be over 3 years before I would ever talk to them again, but today I can say I have a great relationship with them. The past...I let it be in the past, never to be discussed anymore.

Somebody is impressed by Glen. I know I am. Too bad the solo gets lost in the orchestra.

John Williams turned 92 yesterday, so Carl Grapentine (on the radio, WFMT) played Williams's Olympic Fanfare and Theme from the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. I have always loved the piece and the 84 Olympics were a favorite of mine. It was quite a show.
Oh, yeah, if you listen on good headphones, you can hear them using the Walt Disney Concert Hall organ designed by Rosalas (with Frank Gehry input, of course). It is a rather wild looking thing. The Pick-Up-Sticks organ.
IIRC, not only did they have to find ways to support the face pipes in a wild arrangement (instead of having it supported mainly by the base), it had to be done in an earthquake-resistant manner. The visible pipes are actually a very small part of an instrument. There are some 6000+ other pipes.
