The film is accompanied by an acoustic guitar and harmonica music score compiled from a royalty-free music source.

Not a great disc but this is the only home video edition of the film we know of. This independent producer sells discs under the Fatkat Enterprises and Rare Silent Films names. The disc has been available for sale from time-to-time on eBay for $5.00 plus shipping, and sale benefits the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum.
