QUICK BITES

WILD BUNCH WEDNESDAY - Short Story Challenge Update
The challenge set by Black Horse Western writer I.J.Parnham (The Culbin Trail at http://ijparnham.blogspot.com) has been taken up. Fellow Black Horse Western writers Jack Giles and Chuck Tyrell will be adding the next two instalments. The first of these will appear here.


SECOND HAND BOOKSHOPS
Interesting piece at The Tainted Archive on second hand bookshops at http://tainted-archive.blogspot.com which encourages readers to review their local second hand bookshops.
Apart from the usual charity shops I seem to live in that part of the south-east that has seen the second hand bookshops disappear.


SUCCESS FOR BLACK HORSE WESTERN WRITER
Black Horse Western writer Terry James, author of 'Long Shadows' which is currently at No. 6 in the Amazon top ten westerns, has received news that a new western 'Echoes Of A Dead Man' has been accepted for publication. It will be out in 2010.

ENNIO MORRICONE INTERPRETATIONS
A couple of interesting pieces to be found on You Tube.
Metallica gives 'The Ectasy Of Gold' form The Good, The Bad and The Ugly the heavy metal treatment.

Look out for Muse with 'Knights Of Cydonia' complete with the 'Man With The Harmonica' intro that they played live at the 2008 V Festival.

  1. Ray, have you heard Metallica's song Unforgiven? The opening is pure spaghetti western. They used to come on stage to Morricone's Ectasy of Gold, perhaps still do. The singer is a big fan of spaghettis.
