"Why didn't you learn the violin?" - Playing the music of James Bond

We all love the music of Bond movies, but I'm interested on knowing if anyone plays Bond music in any instrument.
I suppose I can start saying that I have studied a little of classical guitar and I have attempted to make some arrangements of Bond themes. They are not great but it's fun to play. I would say my finest are On Her Majesty's Secret Service Main Theme and Goldfinger, also some so-so themes of my own are Live and Let Die, A View to a Kill (in the style of Wine with Stacy), The Living Daylights, Nobody Does it Better, Vesper, and Inside Man.

    Is there a simpler way of uploading a recording than by youtube?

    I just made an arrangement for guitar of You Only Live Twice... sound very decent in my opinion.
    I wish you people can give me your appraisal!

    I think Brosnan did great in GE and I wouldn't want to take his best film away from him.

    Dalton should've done a few more films though, he should've started with FYEO in 1983 (Moore does OP in 81), then done AVTAK, TLD and LTK, then 2 more films in the 90s.
