Soundcheck: “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Theme” – Bruno Battisti D’Amario (Enio Marconi) cover.

Two things:

One: I always dedicate this to my neighbor and first guitar teacher Paul Norton, without whose patience, persistence and ability to see in a then nine-years-old, gangly kid, with a third-hand, way-too-big Silvertone archtop, something that only those rare, ethereal individuals with The Gift can see (sigh). There are no words sufficient, so I will just say thank-you, Paul. Truly.

And two: I always credit the guitarist who recorded the track, Bruno Battisti D’Amario. And this, a distant second to his virtuosity, is why: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/may/10/ennio-morricone-sued-guitarist-daughter
