I love Star Wars and I love Chris Thile so all the songs that he's written that have been inspired by Star Wars I love also. I can't talk much about the technical side of hte songs, but when i listen to them i can see Star Wars in my head. My favorite Chris-Star Wars song is A Night in Mos Eisley. I think George Lucas should use his songs in the next movies! Put Nickel Creek in Star Wars instead of NSYNC.

i totally agree! why the heck put nsync in the movie! my fav song is alderranian melody (dunno if i spelled that right)

...... yea the beauty of the original star wars was it didn't use big pop culture icons- it use dynamic, not so well know actors- and an awsome composer. [wll John is still there] ....... i really hope episode 2 is leaps above #1-

Hey all
aim your browser at www.co-mando.com or to www.mandolincafe.com and check out the tab archives. Good thile transcriptions there (including the full version of Caprice #1/When Mandolins Dream for the truly insane mandolinist).

[Thilefan]

I love when mandolins dream!! I tabbed that one too...its very difficult to play though~! Are there any other mandolininsts that play it aside from me?

Where does Caprice #1/When Mandolins Dream come from. I thought I had all the recording chris has done. Is this on CD with a different person or group, or is it something he has preformed live?

[Thilefan]

He has performed it live on many occaisons, but the version I learned and tabbed is from his Mandolin Essentials teqnique video from Homespun tapes. He also has a VERY good version of Raining at Sunset on there, if you don't have, get it. Even if you're not a mandolin player, its fun to watch his fingers move!
