This long-lost
Fillmore march was
written as a bet with
fellow composer John
Klohr in an attempt to
prove that music sold
because of its merit
rather than because of
the composer’s
popularity. To camouflage
its origins, Fillmore
wrote the march under the
fictitious name, Gus
Beans and called it Mt.
Healthy by selecting the
title at random from a
list of Cincinnati, Ohio
suburbs. An exceptional
march for mid-level
bands, Mt. Healthy is
pure Henry Fillmore at
his very best.
