Fanatic, we have a tremendous show for you tonight. Perhaps you notice we are starting and ending with the peerless music of Ennio Morricone. When I was very young, I saw some of the classic “spaghetti westerns” and even though I didn’t really understand what was going on, I was taken by the cinematography, which to my untrained eye seemed to be hyper-saturated and more real than real. Also, I was struck by how completely badass everyone looked. Lee Van Cleef was one of the coolest bad guys ever. But what really stayed with me was the music. Thinking you might enjoy beginning and ending with Mr. Morricone, I placed the tracks accordingly. As always, we thank you so much for taking the time to tune in and very much hope you dig the music. Until next week, hang in there as best you can and stay Fanatic.
