Westerngate
Before I get loads of comments about this one – yes, I got it wrong. I now know the western theme used in No Opportunities is from the 1958 Western, ‘THe Big Country’. Proof is on YouTube.

Thank you for the kind shout outs. Very nicely done segment. Your discussion of the orchestral segments was particularly insightful. It is very clear that you have a great appreciation for and understanding of the music in it’s appropriate time context.
Thanks so much, Michael! It’s all worth it when folks listen and enjoy! 🙂
Good second podcast – Thanks. I found myself agreeing with you and disagreeing with you but most of all wanting to revisit the music. Oh your so right btw the ‘Symphonic Music Of Yes’ was such a disappointment. Keep up the good work – must go as you gave me some homework – now where is The Yes album?
Thanks, Gary! I’m glad you are agreeing and disagreeing – that’s exactly the point of the podcast, after all! As for revisiting the music – it’s great isn’t it? I have never listened as carefully to the albums as this and I’m really enjoying it! Can’t wait to record this week’s episode. I hope you continue listening and enjoying!
