We're kicking off the series with Buster Keaton's “The General.” One of the most revered comedies of the silent era, this film finds hapless Southern railroad engineer Johnny Gray (Buster Keaton) facing off against Union soldiers during America's Civil War. When Johnny's fiancée, Annabelle Lee (Marion Mack), is accidentally taken away while on a train stolen by Northern forces, Gray pursues the soldiers, using various modes of transportation in comic action scenes that highlight Keaton's boundless wit and dexterity. Protsik, is director of both the Maine Traditional Music Association and the Maine Fiddle Camp. He has played music all his life since starting piano lessons at age five. He's been playing and performing in the ‘Old Time Piano’ style since the early 1970s; and composing, performing, and recording old-time piano scores for silent movies. Playing Sunday, Feb 8 at 2 PM.
