He's very good. So is Clark Wilson (also a Wurlitzer player.)<br /><br />Bill O'Meara (Toronto) and Makia Matsumura (New York) are both excellent pianists I've had the pleasure of hearing live. They're great people, too. It's a tough job.Chris Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511805377064572471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228314939015275941.post-70158456855507396252013-06-04T21:36:12.178-04:002013-06-04T21:36:12.178-04:00As a silent film fan, I'd think I'd rather...As a silent film fan, I'd think I'd rather have a root canal than see the performance you described. The film should be left to "speak" for itself.<br /><br />The worst musical accompaniment to a silent film I've witnessed was at the Wexner Center at OSU, where a local musician performed mournful, dirge-like synthesizer music to accompany a whimsical, early Douglas Fairbanks comedy. It was unintentionally surreal. And not in a good way.<br /><br />For some fine silent film accompanists, I recommend Dave Drazin and Phil Carli, to name just two.Michael N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14313953071196776990noreply@blogger.com
