Jeff had just won a national contest for writing an updated score for the movie, and we got to see the finished product in an unfinished room above his garage. I was shocked. My normally hyper kids (at seven and ten years old) were mesmerized for an hour-and-a-half by a silent movie! As were my wife and I. No doubt much of the credit goes to Jeff for his brilliantly conceived score--he's quite talented with that sort of thing, having already won an Emmy for the original theme song to the T.V. show "Monk"--but Buster Keaton is phenominal. The General truly is a classic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
