Schickele also composed the arrangements for a couple of Joan Baez albums back in the day for Vanguard. "Noel" and "Baptism." All of those arrangements are quite original and some of them are very good, indeed.
Great interview. Always been a fan of Peter Schickele, P.D.Q. Bach and Maestro Slatkin. The maestro may remember me for a couple of times I told him I know Stuart Pearl (Violinist At That Time) who he did a concert with way back in his early school days out in California. Looking good maestro at age eighty. I'm right behind you at age 76. Wish I looked that good.
Schickele mix! I knew I heard pdq melodies on public radio! I am sad to hear that he has passed.
Music made into and fun of itself!

Thanks. This is one of several I have done with Leonard over the years; always good conversation at his end, at least. 🙂
a couple others to admit to the pantheon of accomplished composer-satirists: Spike Jones, Frank Zappa
Yes indeed, Spike and Frank, two of my favorites.
Schickele acknowledged Spike Jones as an influence. Not sure how he felt about Zappa.
@@thedogesl Yeah, Frank Zappa is an acquired taste. Thanks again for the interview.
