Ennio Morricone's great theme to the movie, "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" done on banjo...complete with the whistling and "Hoo-Hah's." ;^) I was inspired to come up with this arrangement by my guitar picking buddy, Wyatt Troxell, and (believe it or not) "The Ukulele Orchestra Of Great Britain!" This tune was a big challenge. My wife, Lynn, is on bass and "Hoo-Hah's;" I'm on banjo, guitar, whistling and "Hoo-Hah's." :^D I hope you enjoy it!

I missed the 45 caliber percussion.  Breen, you are just plain crazy.  This is just wonderful.  Blondeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Howdy, Don, and thanks for the nice words.  Yep, you're not the first to recognize I've got a screw loose!  :^)  BTW, the "Hoo-Hah's" were quite difficult to do!  :^D

Thanks, Joe, Monty and Erin!  It was fun to do.

Yes, I like typing "Hoo-Hah."  It's easier to type it than it is to actually do it!  :^)

Just Bill Says:

Howdy, Gus. Thanks for the nice words. :^) It took me almost a week to figure out how to play the song Scruggs-style. Then it took nearly a full day to record it (hoo-hah's included.) :^D
