[Dixielandjazz] Harmonica

[Allan Brown]

Dear Steve,

I concur - that soundtrack is one of my all time favourites. And what about that great touch when one of the gunslingers is shot and as he lies dying on the ground, the harmonica is pushed into his mouth and you get to hear the chord of his dying breath!

Cheers,

Allan Brown
