Barney Oldfield's Race for a Life
by @gmcgath
Liner Notes
My improvised accompaniment for the 1913 silent comedy, "Barney Oldfield's Race for a life." This is the movie that has all the clichés and makes fun of them: the modest maiden, the shy suitor, the mustache-wearing villain who ties the maiden to the railroad track, and the hero, real-life auto racing star Barney Oldfield. I produced the accompaniment on a Roland E-X50 with minimal advance planning; it's just what came out of my hands.

You did a really nice job adding music to this short film. I loved the villain's mustache!
