I took a few minutes from some work I am doing to preview a few songs and I came across this one under Country Music, but really, it could have been posted under "Classical"!
The performer is Glen Campbell and He is playing along with the Orchestra in the Glen Campbell Forums" The performance is an awesome one with the "William Tell Overture" and it, my Brothers and Sisters, is a "smokin' instrumental"!!! If you remember way back in 1949/1950 when the Lone Ranger first entered the TV world, part of that was the theme song...
Background:
"The William Tell Overture is the overture to the opera William Tell (original French title Guillaume Tell), whose music was composed by Gioachino Rossini. William Tell premiered in 1829 and was the last of Rossini's 39 operas, after which he went into semi-retirement (he continued to compose cantatas, sacred music and secular vocal music). The overture is in four parts, each following without pause.
There has been repeated use (and sometimes parody) of parts of this overture in both classical music and popular media. It was the theme music for The Lone Ranger in radio, television and film, and has become widely associated with horseback riding since then. Two different parts were also used as theme music for the British television series The Adventures of William Tell, the fourth part (popularly identified in the US with The Lone Ranger) in the UK, and the third part, rearranged as a stirring march, in the US."

This is an instrumental, so there are no LYRICS...
I hope you all enjoy it!
