I like a good western.

I especially like a good film score. 

GDub and I just watched “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” directed by Andrew Dominik. The score is by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and it “fit real good.”  Fiddle, piano, guitar. Lonely and moody like the midwestern scenery.

It is always a pleasure when the the underscoring compliments the time period, the costuming is painstakingly accurate and the sets are scrupulously detailed. Toss in some great acting and ya got a winner.

The madder the better

Oh to be able to ramble somewhere else on this great superhighway. As I am the bar/serving wench/ cook in the story of the third cd I would like to know if I can have a swashbuckling hero, please? I can sail off into the sunset and make little pirates!

Will Lawrence ever be able to play the solo in Luna Marie? Tune in next week when you will hear JB say…..
