Out of nowhere comes the voice of guylevesque!

Yes! I’m a trumpet player, but I’m better known as a composer and conductor. I’ve composed over 100 classical pieces and written (or co-written) over 500 songs, but you probably know me for the scores I wrote for films like The Untouchables, Once Upon a Time in the West, My Name Is Nobody, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and Duck, You Sucker! - and, of course, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I am Ennio Morricone.

You’d better stick around, because it’s your turn in the barrel. :smiley:
