Aw come on, now! It's done by the great Gaylord Carter. I had the pleasure of seeing him live a few times at the Art Deco Paramount Theatre in Oakland.
No disrespect intended toward Mr. Carter but I LOATHE organ music! It's so hokey! And the instrument doesn't have the musical range that, say, a piano or violin underscore would have. As an early film lover, I had a hard time getting into silent movies because of those godawful organ "scores" (if you can call them that). When I saw my first silent film accompanied by a full orchestral underscore, it was a revelation! Can you imagine Napoleon or Passion Of Joan Of Arc with an organ score? The mind reels
