On Wednesday, October 9, at 8 PM Eastern US time, I'll livestream the silent horror classic _The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari_ on YouTube. Once again, I'll provide live accompaniment on my keyboard, but this time the music will be mostly rather than entirely improvised. There's a bit from Beethoven which works very well with this movie, and I'll work it in. (It's my simplified version of Liszt's outrageously difficult piano arrangement.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Iy8ib0DhsM If you're inclined to give it a like in advance, that will help the show's discoverability. On Friday, October 11, I'll accompany the same movie live at the Plaistow, NH library at 1 PM. Today I published a very short silent film, Melies' _The Haunted Castle_ or _Le Manoir du Diable_, with my accompaniment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12DQzAcB3vw -- Gary McGath http://www.mcgath.com
