Weird! As I'm sitting here listening to this video and watching it I'm also flipping through channels and I just happen to come across the movie Lincoln with Daniel Day-Lewis.
Peter Taltavull, a member of the U.S. Marine Band, was the co-owner of the tavern connected to Ford’s Theatre called the Star Saloon. He testified that John Wilkes Booth entered his establishment on the night of April 14th and had a drink before he shot the President. Additionally, Taltavull stated that on either April 13th or 14th (he could not recall which), David Herold approached him at the bar at between six or seven o’clock and inquired if John Wilkes Booth had been in. Taltavull replied he had not seen him and Herold left.
Went to Ford's Theater a couple years ago. Sadly the Theater was closed that day. But the museum downstairs was definitely worth going to see.

Sad this was a man who could have had such a successful brilliant life. You think what could have been. 😭.
Booth was kind of like the Tom Cruise of his day women loved him, guys liked him.
