The Lone Wanderer
Here is my first out of 12 songs for western music, and it`s called "The Lone Wanderer". It`s pretty basic at first starting out with acoustic guitar and a penny whistle making that western feel. Along with background noise to be joined by a flute before it all kicks in.
I relate this to Celtic music because they too like to use a penny whistle and it has simliar vibes.

It sounds very similar to the theme song "Indiana Jones"
