The Twelve Gallon Hat
Commissioned by the Pensacola Civic Band
In honor of Mr. Don Snowden’s Twenty-fifth Season as Conductor
On the CD
"A Few Notes Between Friends"
PROGRAM NOTES:
Fond of western television and film music like Bonanza, Silverado, City Slickers, The Magnificent Seven
and many, many others, I decided to compose a work as a tribute to my favorites. It is a wild ride to be certain
with double tonguing faster than any 6 shooter and woodwind runs flying across the page like tumbleweed.
Tie yourself into the saddle and hang on for this fast and furious romp across the wild, wild, wild west!
