Things I Got Away With

Recently I played in the pit for Village Theatre's production of Singin' in the Rain (if you missed it you are a looooooser). In one scene the pianist is instructed to improvise silent movie music for a love scene. No music is actually provided. So... I had free reign as long as I played in the right style. A friend of mine requested I upload the tunes I played, so here you go - all 89 shows. (Just so you know, I didn't actually play the songs, but improvised silent movie music around the melodies.)

Shows 1-24: I just improvised something in a new key each night.
