12:00 PM: Piano Players Rarely Ever Play Together

USA, 1982
Directed by Stevenson J. Palfi
76 minutes

Made for public television, this effusive documentary gathered three generations of New Orleans piano legends — blues and boogie man Tuts Washington; his protégé, R&B pioneer Professor Longhair; and the great songwriter and producer Allen Toussaint, a Longhair disciple — for an historic keyboard summit. A film as rich in flavor as New Orleans's musical culture itself that will have you grooving and bouncing in your seats.

2:00 PM: Tom Rush: No Regrets, plus Q&A with Tom Rush after screening

USA, 2013
Directed by Rob Stegman and Todd Kwait
85 minutes

Now looking like a singing Mark Twain (and showing a similar laconic wit), the New England troubadour credited with launching the singer-songwriter movement and introducing audiences to the work of Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, and Jackson Browne tells the story of his musical life, culminating with a concert at Boston Symphony Hall celebrating his 50-year career. Essential viewing for folk fans, screening ahead of Rush's Nov. 12 performance at the Old Town School of Folk Music.
