I was able to perform at the Marine Museum, Port Dover last week. It's the perfect place to be IF you HAD to be locked in a room for 24 hrs. Curator and faboulis musician Ian Bells has really made this place an essential part of the community. The reason the I was there was to play piano for a full length silent movie called "Steamboat Bill Jr." staring Buster Keaton. It was really fun. I used lots of more "modern" themes that people would recognize to set up different scenes but played them in the older style. That approach gave more laughs to the audience. …. AND I had a chance to use my arm suspenders once again.
Here is Tom "the piana player" after he supplied all the music to a Silent Movie.
