Me too, Andy. Thielemans is a master.

One of my all time favorites, however, is the harmonica in "Once upon  
a Time in the West" that prefaces the Charles Bronson gunfights.  
Simple, but hauntingly beautiful harmonica and orchestra.

Music by Ennio Morricone. And IMO, the score for that movie is superb.

Maybe not strictly OKOM, but it should be. <grin>
