The Spaghetti Western Orchestra rides into town, with a wagon train of instruments, to perform Ennio Morricone's classic music, including The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, and For a Few Dollars More. With a fistful of humor and a bucket-load of fun, the orchestra underscores these brilliant musical adventures with sound effects from iconic "Spaghetti Western" movies. Every punch up, gunshot, and jangling spur is recreated using coat hangers, cornflakes, nail clippers, rubber gloves, and other ingenious "instruments" pulled from its saddlebag of tricks. A tribute to the maestro Morricone performed by a posse of magnificent musicians.
