One More, for the trail...🐎
LONG RIDERS

Back in 1980, Westerns weren't popular; so when Long Riders came out, I was jazzed. Another plus was the soundtrack by Ry Cooder. The movie chronicles the misadventures and demise of the James-Younger gang, 19th-century outlaws who tore through Missouri on a crime spree. Also a plus was that 4 sets of actual brothers played the parts...explained in trailer below. It is now on Netflix.

SOUNDTRACK:
 
Let's dance, let's move this body, lets pray and thank that we are alive. Let's smile and be in love with life no matter what!



I love this song. I fell in love with it seeing the movie "The Deer Hunter", a movie about friendship and the Vietnam War. Here is the scene when I hear this song for the first time:

 

The Silkroad Ensemble: "Ascending Bird"​

The Silkroad Ensemble with Yo-Yo Ma performed this piece in Sanders Theatre at Harvard University.

Santur player Siamak Aghaei and violinist Colin Jacobsen arranged a traditional folk melody that was inspired by mythology. "Ascending Bird" tells the popular legend of a bird attempting to fly to the sun. After two failed attempts, the bird finally makes contact with the sun, losing its physical body in fire, and in this way achieving a metaphorical spiritual transcendence.

I'm having a Zep night, so I share this one too. A long travelogue featuring long solos. Taken from one of their lesser known records, very underrated in my opinion.
