I’m a fan. Who’d thunk?

Grab a drink.  Sit back and relax.  You’ve never seen a concert like this one.

In January 2018, The Danish Broadcast Corporation (DR) aired a concert called “The Duel – Morricone Draws First” performed by The Danish National Symphony Orchestra /DR SymfoniOrkestret, The Danish National Concert Choir with various soloists conducted by Sarah Hicks.
The concert was hosted by singer/composer/author Kristian Leth.

The music performed were titles from a wide range of western movies and mafia movies reflecting different perspectives on an Italian-American movie and film music style.

Featured composers were Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann, Nino Rota and Sonny Bono with music from films by Sergio Leone, Quentin Tarantino, Brian DePalma and Francis Ford Coppola.

If you’re wondering….

You can’t say that The Lucky Puppy does not provide a wide range of topics for our readers.

Studies conducted by the Danish National Committee for Pig Production determined that sows produced bigger litters if they were sexually stimulated during conception.  The dutiful Danes produced manuals and posters to describe the official procedure to be used. Yes they made a training video and here’s the clip.

This clip debuted in the U.S. during a TED lecture by Mary Roach. “Bonk” author Mary Roach delves into obscure scientific research, some of it centuries old, to make 10 surprising claims about sexual climax, ranging from the bizarre to the hilarious. (This talk is aimed at adults. Viewer discretion advised.) Here is the entire lecture.

 

The pig part starts at 10:31.
