Wonder where they originated...<br /><br />The musical transitions are a nice touch, too. However, last time I noticed, the one piece of music that seems out of place is the 'Blazing Saddles' theme. Not sure a comedy theme works very well with such a historic backdrop! Maybe it has since been changed.outsidethebermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272382432824523809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-42777250603499068642011-11-16T10:05:26.574-08:002011-11-16T10:05:26.574-08:00Spot on, Dave.

"Expertly themed" indeed.<br /><br />Some of this light touch survives today in the music in this area.<br /><br />I rested on those benches for a while and noticed the soundtrack here is a sparse instrumental treatment of traditional American "real" music, Yankee Doodle, Johnny Comes Marching, etc.<br /><br />Turn around from the last picture and walk about 200 feet into Frontierland, and the music track subtly changes until in front of the Golden Horseshoe, we get "Cowboy movie themes", High Noon, Good Bad Ugly, Rawhide, etc. in a more lush instrumental style, still no lyrics.<br /><br />I marvel at the care going into selection of these tracks and the placement of the invisible speakers, the tracks are heard just far enough apart that they do not conflict or overwrite, but it seems there is always appropriate music playing everywhere you go.<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-90362149753041139342011-11-16T08:37:01.926-08:002011-11-16T08:37:01.926-08:00I love the detail of the little family, all the gi...I love the detail of the little family, all the girls wearing those paper souvenir hats!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
