Very nice and cool sound. And who doesn't like a good Cannoli? When we lived in Virginia, my wife and I would sometimes get a craving and have to go out and find some.
And this is timely in light of Ennio Morricone's recent passing.

Hi Mario,
Yeah, definitely movie soundtrack material.
Very atmospheric and I like the way it builds in from the intro.
You know I'm a Tele fan anyway and that SX sounds fabulous.
Great stuff.

Really great sounding guitar, it creates a vivid and mysterious mood over the enjoyable bluesy chording. Funnily I was waiting for the song go back to the base chord, because there the sound is at its richest.

"This is just a little fun thing that I just had to do"
Well, we are glad you did. Very cool twist on the western theme.
Speaking of cinematic ... this sounds like it would be a nice track for one of HBO's
Westworld episodes.
As always how you put your songs together is a mystery to us and, again, as always we enjoyed the outcome.
Well done!

Mario,
Fun stuff! I like all but the drums. Not the beat, but the patch. Not sure if Drummica is still around. It used to be free from Sennheiser. Thank you for sharing!
P.S. Here is a poster for the film.
Misha. Great poster Misha. I did have a couple of other not so favorable drum responses so I will have to look into what I did. Thanx for the comment.
Love is grand.

Thanx John. Are there no Cannolis available where you now live? That would be a real shame!

ROG. Thanx Rog. I have a friend who brought over his $3,000 USD Fender Tele and I put mine up against it. After the shoot out he said that he just wasted $2,880 USD. Yes mine only cost $120.

Mario, we've tried Cannoli a few times at the Italian restaurants we've been to (not the chain restaurants, but the mom and pop restaurants), but it just hasn't been as good. So we just don't order it (and we don't have that many decent Italian restaurants to go to, so there's that). When you bit into it and the crust is just soggy, and the filling has a chemical taste, well that's just wrong.
When we lived in Northern Virginia, there was a restaurant that we frequented called Giorgio's (which was Italian and Greek, and the owners were of Italian and Greek heritage). I miss that greatly. We could get great Cannoli's, as well as great Baklava (which also seems to be hit or miss down here in the Florida panhandle).
I suspect it's why we now do most of our own cooking and only go out occasionally (mainly for Gulf seafood).

Mr. Mario "Leone", You have done well again! If you can help me finance the movie I will definitely use this song as the theme and direct the movie myself. I am sure Clint Eastwood will be ready for a final spaghetti western when he hear this tune. Will
