"ONE WEEK" Starring Buster Keaton - Part 2 of 2

This is PART TWO of a two part video
(due to the YouTube 10 minute limit)

In a performance on 2/23/2008 at a concert sponsored by The Scott Joplin International Ragtime Foundation, pianist Marty Mincer, Adam Swanson and "Perfesser" Bill Edwards provided the music for a showing of the silent film "ONE WEEK" that starred Buster Keaton.
The purpose of the event was to demonstrate to the audience what it was like in the early 1900's to view a movie with the kind of music they would have heard performed by the pianists of that era.

This was really an enjoyable event!

I wish you could have been there.

I love how they put in "Ragapples" by Bill Edwards and Marty Mincer around the 4:25 mark.

Yup! The boys had a fun time playing the music to this old flick! It was great!

Thanks for your comment!

Thank goodness Keaton was like a little

boy when it came to playing with trains!!

I find watching Buster Keaton gags so thrilling, but when you play back his stunts in slow motion you can really see how dangerous and risky they are. he makes it looks so easy. I've never seen anyone as incredible as him. Thanks Fooze for the upload.

I absolutely envy anyone who had the honor of watching Buster Keaton in a theater. What a magical experience it must have been.

To be honest, I'd kind of love to live in a house like that.

This was brilliant. It totally made my night. Thank you for uploading this, Foozlebug!

is there a reason why the video is going a little fast in some sections? is it to make the video less than 10 minutes?

This is GREAT family entertainment, hilarious!!! The piano playing was so outstanding that I was thinking of asking Perfessor Bill Edwards if he had ever tried to duplicate it! Much to my surprise, at the end of the movie, it stated that Perfessor PLAYED the piano accompianament on this version!!!!! FYI, Perfessor played for 2 days in July at the Ragtime Street Festival, Greenfield Village, The Henry Ford, Dearborn MI. Thank you Foozlebug!!!

Where WOULD we be without Buster Keaton! <3

Sweet lord in heaven this man was a genius.

How can there be so few people for such a thing? Over here the room is full of families with little kids for Buster Keaton movies. That's how cinema should have always been ! I'm sure you could have a greater audience, children love it!
