The good guys won one!!

Great one, SW! 👍👍👍👍

I LOVED the Lone Ranger as a kid and I always greatly enjoyed Glen Campbell's music. I had not heard this one before. THANK YOU! I very much enjoyed that. That was very impressive.

That awoke one of ye olde dino's very earliest memories.
My very earliest memory is a snippet of a propeller passenger airplane ride when my family moved from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, to Dothan, Alabama where my dad
was the assistant manager of a company's newly built second factory. Won't go into that.
Will go into little dino being in awe when I saw musical opening of The Lone Ranger on a black and white TV for the first time during the early Fifties.
Even remember where little dino was. In a beachside motel in Miami, Florida, where I saw the huge waves of surf too dangerous even for an adult to swim in. That was kinda awesome too!
I'm sure I watched the whole episode but can't recall it.
It was just seeing The Lone Ranger rearing Silver and shouting "High ho Silver!" while The William Tell Overture was blaring away.
Several years passed before I learned where that great music came from.

Love it. Back before I was a dad I was in a rock band and Hamer guitars were my #1 choice. Fantastic instruments!

Everybody just plays the finale.
The full William Tell Overture by Gioachino Rossini is 12½ minutes long and includes 3 other evocative parts often used in films or cartoons.

The opening evokes a sad / crying mood. Then what sounds like rain starting and building into a ship being tossed at sea by a violent storm. Then the gentle sunrise/morning mood. And finally Hi-Oh Silver. Rossini had some different images in mind.

While I'm at it, there are two other well known sunrises/mornings.
The opening of Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 by Edvard Grieg.

The rest is interesting, too,. A sad death, a country dance, and the energetic finale, In the Hall of the Mountain King starting at about 13:00 in the link above. But listen to the whole thing.

For the grandest sunrise, the opening of Also Sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss.

The full piece is a little more than a half-hour long.

It's a tone poem of varying moods, some quiet, some exuberant. It's hard to sustain the greatness of the opening.

When going through medic training in at Fort Sam Houston in 1968, my Aunt and Uncle gave me tickets to see Campbell in concert at HemisFair in downtown San Antonio. Somehow shortly before the show, the neck of Campbell's guitar was broken. He glued it together (I presume) and held it in place with a large C clamp. With the C clamp on the instrument, he performed flawlessly, providing one of the most amazing musical performances I had ever seen before or have seen since. I learned later that he had been one of the most requested guitar players for many years in the recording industry prior to his very successful career as a singer-songwriter. At the concert he also played the banjo, and years later he would occasionally play the bagpipes during his concerts. One of America's most amazing musicians, I miss him and his music.

I hear that piece every morning. I turn on the OTR (Old Time Radio) radio.macinmind.com and it's usually Gunsmoke or The Lone Ranger on.

When Rossini debuted the overture, I think there was a riot, it was so radical for the times....

So very long ago and so very very far away.

As a young one, I'd get up a 5 in the morning, rush to the player piano, grab the lip under the keyboard and pump the peddles like mad to the William Tell Overture!

My parents weren't too happy about that!!!
