I'm trying to identify the name of a tune......the movie it's from is "The Outlaw Josey Wales" and the tune is in the first part of the movie; it's played right after the redlegs have killed his family and he joins up with "Bloody Bill" Anderson and is played while he is fighting Union troops....the tune ends right about the time Fletcher is talking them into going in for amnesty.

Does anyone know the tune I'm talking about, and does anyone know the name of the tune? I was told "frog in the well", but the tunes I've found on Youtube when I type in 'frog in the well' aren't the same.

Moderators: If you feel this post is more appropriate somewhere else, feel free to move it.....I just felt it would get more responses in this category.
Thanks in advance..................

Mr. 16 gauge,

This post is appropriate here because we are flexible for our camp fire chat subjects.

I watched "The Outlaw Josey Wales" (again) last night. I recall, "buzzards and worms got to eat." I did not pay attention to the tune in question.

The link below says there were a total of 38 sound tracks in the movie. Hope this helps. Take care...

Thanks Joe.....from the site in your post, I've determined it to be what they are calling "Main theme"......a little more digging, and I found out the tune is known as "1812" or "old 1812". It's a fife and drum number, and I know I've heard it before.....either at a fort or on some other historical movie/show.
Thanks again.....figured someone here would have then knowledge!:D;)
