Wes Winters does Liberace

[Liberace]

Apparently, there's lots of piano player work on cruise ships.

This fellow is playing classical but the people shouting out want rock and roll. Watch out for this happening. I don't even recognize what the guy is playing. Always have to pay attention to the crowd and the repertoire. FREEBIRD!!! Here's Eric Hayes doing Freebird in a bird.

This is more like it. I'll try hunting around for youtubes of piano players on cruise ships. You can help me and post them in the forum linked at the top of this blog.

Theme from Hang 'Em High



You can hear part of the theme in the above trailer. The song is "lighter" in that ominous trailer than it should but the trailer gives you a nice summary of the story. Here's the soundtrack in a 15 minute Youtube audio, complete. I would recommend sitting back and listening to the whole thing. [+]
