America the Beautiful / Battle Hymn of the Republic (Andrew Sikma - piano)

Last week I played for the funeral of an older friend from church who loved patriotic music. His family asked me to arrange a couple patriotic hymns and this is what I came up with.
It was an honor to have a part in celebrating Chuck’s life. God bless.

Two great songs played by a handsome man.

I really appreciate his interpretation of musical numbers. He possesses “the touch” you are born with and cannot learn. It’s an innate link between the hands and the keys. Thanks for sharing here…

Andrew, nice job on the keys, but I feel like you're holding back. Let that American spirit shine through in your playing! Aim for greatness and show the world what you're made of. 🇺🇸
