OT: How about some instrumentals

Route 66 theme by Nelson Riddle and his orchestra - probably about as classic as you can get: :)

Scud, this might have been, along with Peter Gunn and Hawaii Five O, the greatest theme for a television show ever. I was in Pittsburgh when they filmed the show that guest starred Lee Marvin. The story I got was that George Maharias, who appeared as "Buzz" got carried away in one of the fight scenes with Marvin. Marvin, who was a highly decorated hero during WW2, apparently grabbed him and established a line of communication. There were no further problems. Shortly after that Maharias left the show claiming "health problems."
 
If you've ever wondered what would happen if some metalheads got their hands on cellos...

When a symphonic metal band plays with a full orchestra (sorry this is cheating a little bit because there are some vocals from the chorus, but no words). Darth Vader definitely deserves some head banging for his theme music. Skip to about 3 minutes for the rockin' stuff.

 
Just popping in and hopefully not repeating:



Ooopps there is a vocal ... bad, bad.

Hey Steeler, wow, great story - I'll have to see if I can find that episode somewhere - I haven't seen any of those old shows for a long time, so I'm due anyway.:D

Wow, it's been a long time since I heard that. I have a CD ripped from the LP; I'll have to dig it up. The early EWF stuff is amazing (love the kalimba). It's really different from their later stuff, but there's an underlying style/vibe that's always present.

Early in the thread there was a guitarist named Leo. I figured it was this guy, but it was a different Leo.

I used to play (a very simplified version of) that on the mountain dulcimer. Believe it or not, it was quite recognizable. I still marvel at a bottleneck being used on a 12-string.

Sorry there's no Korean translation, but she is a gifted guitarist named Haeun Jang Pilos. (I just don't know how her hair doesn't get in the way.)
