Luca Stricagnoli – For A Few Dollars More
An evening pause: A magnificent cover of this classic Ennio Morricone film score. If you want to hear a compliation of all of Morricone’s western scores, go here.
For me however Morricone’s score for Cinema Paradiso remains my favorite.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

Agree, Bob. Morricone’s lilting theme, played under the montage at the movie’s finale, never fails to bring tears. Of his 500+ scores, I’m also quite fond of his compositions for “The Untouchables” and “Fat Man and Little Boy” (a far-superior film to the wretched “Oppenheimer”).
Yeah, while I appreciate the technique I cannot condone the pointing the pistol at his own face part.
sippin_bourbon: Alec Baldwin said to relax that its just a prop gun . . .
Gotta agree with Mr. Bourbon…can’t get past the fact that this talented idiot is consistently pointing a firearm at himself with his finger on the trigger. Don’t care if it’s a prop, don’t care that it (appears to be) a single-action with the hammer already down, don’t care if he claims it’s unloaded, just plain don’t care.
He’s a moron.
Mr. Bourbon reflects my thoughts also. Lots of years of firearm safety training makes me uncomfortable watching this.
