John Philip Sousa’s music made an appearance today on the Morning Program. We heard a march that Sousa originally composed for an operetta he never finished — “The Devil’s Deputy”. The U.S. Marine Corps Band has played it at four of the last six presidential inaugurations. In addition, it’s often associated with the British television comedy program, “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. Which Sousa march is this?
