Rosa Rio Dies

Posted by Slobokan @ 22:25 · 74 words · print

Rosa Rio, the last of the original silent-movie organists, gave her first professional performance in 1912, when she was 10. William Howard Taft was president.

In August, at the age of 107, she was still at the keyboard in Tampa, providing accompaniment for a screening of Buster Keaton's silent film "One Week." The movie was made in 1920, when Miss Rio was already a seasoned musician of 18.

Rest In Peace, Rosa.
