Favoriting July 25, 2017: BEN MODEL
Silent film pianist and organist Ben Model joins Devon to discuss the three new Marion Davies Blu-Ray/DVDs his Undercrank Productions rare and lost silent film DVD label released today for "When Knighthood Was In Flower," "Beauty Worth" and "The Bride's Play." Ben has accompanied several hundred silent films internationally over the past 35+ years, carrying on the tradition learned from silent film organist Lee Erwin (1919-2000) and is a resident accompanist at MOMA and Library of Congress' Packard Campus Theater (the latter of which will present his next performance on Sat. July 29th) and the co-founder and producer of The Silent Clowns Film Series now in its 20th season. He's also the archivist of the Ernie Kovacs/Edie Adams collection recently curating two Ernie Kovacs television show DVD box sets for Shout! Factory and instrumental in the 2015 Library of Congress acquisition of the Kovacs film and videotape preservation.
