Charles: I hadn't been to your website before. There's a lot of good material there. I ended up playing most of them. Thanks for making it all available.

Everytime I sit down at my computer, I get my web site up and play Frank's song OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
I would think by now, I would be able to play it just like him. NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even get past the first note.

Frank, you deserve EVERY comment posted here but there is one not posted that you need to know.

I am very proud to be able to know you as MY FRIEND.

Just to clarify, the music was written by Ennio Morricone, from the Sergio Leone film, "Once Upon A Time in the West." In the film, each of the main characters get a "theme" piece of music. This would be the theme for the lovely Claudia Cardinale.

I am glad that Tilley clued us in on some of the songs on his website. I listened to Frank Carter, as Tilley suggested and He did a great job on it.

I also heard Michael Brewer on "Pennies From Heaven" on C6 and he did a fine job on that. This is getting kinda fun. Thanks for starting this ,Tilley...al.:):)
