    Beautifully sung, acted, danced, directed, designed, costumed and produced. I suspect composer/lyricist, Sherman Edwards and book writer Peter Stone, very deliberately chose a 3/4 time signature for this number. Historically, it might be possible that some of the early colonists knew of the German peasant dances done in 3/4 time, and, it is plausible that Ben Franklin may have observed the Nizzarda, the French version of the waltz. But, he would not have experienced those cultures until after the action of this play has concluded, as, his trip to, and service in France happens much later in 1776. For the purposes of this musical, an argument can be made for the 3/4 time signature of "He Plays the Violin" being an act of musical revolution and rebellion. With its roots in the servant and peasant classes, the waltz was not yet an acceptable social dance for the palace courts of Europe. And, except for servants and peasants, the closed, face-to-face dance position was considered immoral and scandalous. Touching a partner without the barrier of gloved hands would have been outrageous. So the choice of the waltz for ".....Violin" is in direct contrast to the Minuet & Gavotte used for, and specifically referred to in "Cool, Considerate Men". My verbose point is, it would have been a rebellious and revolutionary act, not to mention, scandalously immoral for Benjamin Franklin and John Adams to dance in a closed position with any woman, much less another man's wife. But, Martha is also displaying free-spirited, revolutionary behavior by speaking in innuendo about her husband's lovemaking skills, arguably a cue to Franklin that, if asked, she might just be thrilled to let him lead her in the new, scandalous waltz. This is not just a lark for Ben Franklin, Martha and John Adams, they are thumbing their noses at class rules and defying courtly dances by waltzing. They would not just casually slip into a face-to-face dance position. They would certainly know they are being quite daring, but, surely that would only increase their thrill. Technically, this choreography, as staged, doesn't hit the USA for nearly one hundred years. But, as scripted for this show, it is musical and social dance form of treason! I'll bet the Creators may have intended just that!

It was the Makeshift Aparatus For Scanning Larger Reels On Wolverine Moviemaker. I found a ton of my dad’s old 8mm and Super 8 home movies. I bought the digitizer but most of the reels are the larger ones. Your “how to” video was the perfect solution. I started gathering the things I need but forgot what the side with the pulley looked like. I was so sad when I came back to see you removed the video. Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
