Charlie Chaplin's Thanksgiving meal

Music brings us closer to our emotions. You can do a little experiment by watching scary movie with no sound. It can almost become rediculous watching long drawn out scenes where nothing much happens! But with the music we are on the edge of our theater seat with hair standing on end. Sometimes the music sets us up and we get a long period of silence.....the BOOM!

Even the romantic parts...try it, turn off the sound (there's no words anyway!). The scenes just can't stand alone!

My great Uncle Charlie's profession was piano player for silent movies. He would improvise for the whole movie...2 or three shows on Saturday!

Hope you enjoy this Thanksgiving "silent" movie. Thank you Charlie Chaplin for showing us what to be thankful for.

I am grateful for children of all ages.
Love,
Yvette
