once upon a time....

so...ennio stopped by in vienna this week...and i was lucky enough to witness one of his very rare live appearances...

the great morricone was accompanied by the roma sinfonietta orchestra and the nuovo coro lirico sinfonico romano choir...there were about 200 people on stage!!!

it was a great concert...and one part of it was dedicated to the filmscores morricone did for the sergio leone western movies...and one of my favourite ones was the theme song to the 1968 piece "once upon a time in the west"...ENJOY!

jim seals and dash crofts formed the duo "seals & crofts" in the late 60s after working together in several bands before, to record over a dozen of albums together.

their second album "summer breeze" from 1972 turned out a great commercial success (no. 7 in us album charts) and established their status as one of the most popular soft rock bands of the 70s.

here is a song of s&c´s 1975 album "i´ll play for you":

abd now...something totally different...

this is a man, who is responisble for soooo many melodies everyone knows!!!....at least among german speaking fellows...

think of the title melodies of heidi, wicki, alice´s adventures in wonderland, think of the jingle for milka chocolate, think of "marmor, stein und eisen bricht", or "ein bißchen spass muss sein" by roberto blanco!!!...and very important: the soundtrack to the legendary tv-show "captain future"...

one man was responsible for all these catchy songs and melodies from the late 60s until today: Christian Bruhn, who is now chairman of the german GEMA...

here are to rather short songs, christian bruhn did for the 1979 german tv-show "timm thaler"
