Playing legitimate "Classical" music on the banjo was in vogue in the 1890's, and my great-grandfather Hezekiah Urastus Anderton was not immune to its influence. He was friendly with the composer's grandson, Zebulon Von Weber, who supplanted his income by making moonshine. Hezekiah was so grateful for this steady source of rotgut that he dedicated this film short to him.

  • Nice film but the sound quality and film quality are at odds, i.e. good sound added to a modern film made to look like an old film.

  • @mariavon22 You have a keen grasp of the completely obvious.
