Hi all.
I wrote "Gunslinger" over 15 years ago and recorded it in '93. I just uploaded it to YouTube the other day and I'd like to share it with fellow fans! Please watch and enjoy.

I hope there is a DT movie some day. All the DT-related videos out there are stills or creative editing (as in "Clint Eastwood IS..." LOL!)
Happy New Year!

I have NO idea who either one of those is! But then, I'm old.

Nice work Chassit! I can understand the "upbeat but dark" comment. It has the ethereal vocals yet it also has some xylophone! Very catchy tune! Thanks.

Thank you, Brinn! Nice to see you still here.
It's sort o' funny cuz' when I did this, my better half says, "It's a happy little dark song of dispair, isn't it?" The problem is everything I do is dark, even my happy stuff, so my "dark" stuff sounds happy, I guess. I am glad you like it.

Hi Lucimay. They can't be
that old, because I used to follow all popular music up through about '86 and I've never heard of 'em. How old is "old"? ::gulp!::
Happy New Year you guys.

Jan Hammer was "popular" in THIS country in the early to mid-nineties, and is best known for the Miami Vice theme song.
Brian Eno has been aroun for ages, but most notably in the mid-to-late 70's and 80's. He is best known for albums such as "Here Come the Warm Jets", and producing the likes of U2 "Joshua Tree". He also did some fine work with Robert Fripp.
Help me out here Luci!

Oh yeah DUH!! No wonder, in my mind I've always heard/spelled that name as "Yon Hammer". I didn't make the connection!

Still don't know him, no ringing bells there. What genre? Strange. Now I'm curious enough to go find out how his stuff sounds, though.

Fripp & Eno (No Pussyfooting) is a 1973 (see 1973 in music) album by the British musicians Robert Fripp and Brian Eno.
The title refers to their quick and spontaneous methods of creating music; each piece is an improvisation, recorded directly to tape as it was created, without further overdubs. This was the first collaboration between these two musicians. It could be considered an album of Ambient music, although its recording pre-dates Eno's coining of the term.
