AHHHHHHH... the lightbulb moment!!!! The tension built by the diminished 7th chord is the big tension of the silent films when the bass moves up to the next note in the series, while the chord remains the same. It's also the same technique used in the Dudley Doright cartoons as the music was based on the piano music of the silent era. As always, Dex... another GREAT video. BTW, the reunion was a blast, but I also experienced a LOT of emotional overwhelm this past weekend because it was filled with reconnecting with both family and friends from long ago. Cheers, Dex!!

I'm glad the reunion was fun and it sounds like a positive experience for you and the others involved. Big hugs from the UK :)
