I'm curious - -
to see if YouTube will ban my latest video.
There's a war on the Confederacy.
Confederate flags are being banned.
Statues of Confederate soldiers are being toppled.
Anything that bears a Confederate name is being expunged.
Goodbye, Robert E. Lee
Those people who've read my previous blog post (all three of you) know that the movie Gone With the Wind has been deemed "racist" and is being snuffed from our midst.
As a musician and a reasonably curious Homo sapien (don't panic - it's nothing sexual), I'm wondering if the musical score to Gone With the Wind will also be banned.
So last night I got into my never-ending Creative Mode and made a video of music from the 1939 film Gone With the Wind. The original score was written by Max Steiner (1888 - 1971).
I used my own piano arrangement for the video, which I wrote when I was a nineteen-year-old music student in Los Angeles.
The audio recording is old but reasonably tolerable.
The hardest part of the whole project was finding film clips from the movie - which I tossed together rather haphazardly.
Watch the video quickly.
The Anti-Confederate Music Police are probably on my tail.
