But similarly to that question, uh, and flowing nicely actually, what was the first film that you provided accompaniment for? So Jane, we've kind of already [laughs] heard a bit about yourself.

The first film that I recorded and first film that I accompanied was called He Who Gets Slapped, starring Lon Chaney, and it's kind of like a horror film really.

I, I got down to the venue on a f- Saturday night, late at night at 11 o'clock, and realized what I had to do the following day.

And there was a paid audience ready to hear me accompany this full-length silent, um, feature film, and I'd never done that before.

I'd never actually improvised on the piano in public before, ever.

This was about 25 years ago, and I just had to get on with it.

[laughs] So I had about a day to prepare and watch the film for the first time, and then perform it in the evening and, and it went really well.

Mm-hmm
