OT: How about some instrumentals

[mbr33ct]

I know you guys have been waiting for this one...the one I always fall back to, when an instrumental is required....with a sprinkling of vocals.

Just remembered this duo. I haven't had the good fortune to run into them. They do these short performances on hikes all over my Cascade Mountains. Usually first or last light, so the mountain air can be quite chilly. I've read or heard that it can be challenging tuning their instruments. And overcoming numbed fingers.

Starting at about :37 seconds, the 4 peaks directly behind them are Del Campo, Morningstar, Vesper and Sperry. I've climbed all of those in addition to Dickerman. Just a little idea of what's in my back yard. Not too bad.

Not bad at all, my friend. BTW, those mountains are not too bad either.

Here is a classic "Yakety Sax" and the trailer to another classic, British comedian and all around nut, Benny Hill.

Here is a beautiful Henry Mancini version of the theme from 'The Days of Wine and Roses" film. The title is a reference to a poem, "Vitae Sum Brevis Spem Nos Vetat Incohare Longam". The author, Ernest Dowson, was a brilliant but troubled young man who seems wise beyond his time, which unfortunately was as brief as the aforementioned verse.

A little upbeat Celtic music.

Here is one from my misspent youth, actually just before I began misspending.

Al Pettaway is a finger style quitar virtuoso originally from the DC suburbs who is now located outside of Asheville NC. His work has been featured in several National Geographic Specials and one of his compositions, "Sligo Creek" was the main theme used in Ken Burns' documentary on the National Parks.

Someone posted Peter Gunn. Here is another contemporary detective show theme. I think a young Mary Tyler Moore was Richard Diamond's secretary.

i did not realize until now that one of my favorite tunes, Hypnotize by biggie, is a ripoff of this. mr smalls is no longer with us. mr alpert? 'As of 2019, the Alperts live on a 5.5 acres beachfront compound on the Pacific Coast Highway in West Malibu, which Herb Alpert acquired in the early 1970s.' herb wins. someone/something is keeping score.
