James Kennerley plays Sousa's Liberty Bell march

James plays his own transcription of John Philip Sousa’s iconic The Liberty Bell march, making use of the instrument's many percussion and "toy" stops along the way.
Performed live in concert in August 2021 on the Kotzschmar Memorial Organ by James Kennerley, Municipal Organist for the City of Portland, Maine.

Does he p-lay the bass parts with his feet? Sure appears to.

Really wonderful. I think the only time I've heard it was the opening of the Monty Python show, many years before you were born.

That was terrific! Both hands and feet going at once - wow. I’m curious, how is the cymbal stop operated?

[@accousticdecay]

Fantastic!
