The Bond Theme and Martinis

It’s like Pavlov’s dog.  When we hear the James Bond twangy guitar riff, we reach for a Martini.  Monty Norman, who composed the theme, recently passed away at age 94.  Here’s a BBC Proms performance which, by the way, credits John Barry who did not write the theme.  Monty sued and won a few quid over that.  Rest In Peace Monty.
