Billy in the Low Ground - Callioforte and ukulele

After finishing the filming for my documentary, we had some spare time to play music. I kept forgetting the name of this song, calling it "Johnny in the Hills," and reversing the elevation. Hence the opening comments. Len is playing his homemade Callioforte, a portable pipe organ. This was a fun moment for me, getting to play with one of my musical heroes.

Obviously I was not able to do all the neat, artistic shots of the Callioforte for this video, but there'll be plenty once I finish the full length movie. In the meantime you can watch a demonstration of Leonard Solomon's Oomphalapompatronium here:
