    My regular GM used the Outlaws theme among others to good effect... But
the best use of music I've ever heard was at Gencon UK in the Doomtown
tournament, when the organiser aranged for a CD system and TGTBATU
soundtrack... Well, when you're playing for a place in teh final 8s vs the
former world champion, a shootout's in the wind and Ecstasy Of Gold (song
from before the final gunfight fer the unknowing) starts, well, it's a good
moment.

    Ah well. I have <no idea> what a TOF rating is :)
