RIP, a legendary composer, his scores were all great but I especially loved the music played during the Mexican standoff in "The Good, the Bad and The Ugly"- perfect score for that scene.

Beside Ludovico Einaudi, Ennio Morricone is one of my favorites.

Both Charlie Daniels and Ennio Morricone in one day - have to wonder what the result of a collaboration between them would be like.
