  • P.D.Q. Bach, Peter Schickele performs on some unique instruments on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
    The Smothers Brothers
    The Smothers Brothers, Tom and Dick, are one of the most iconic comedy duos in the history of television. Tom and Dick began performing as a duo in the late 1950s, playing in coffeehouses and clubs in San Francisco. Their act consisted of music, comedy, and witty banter, which quickly gained them a following.
    The Smothers Brothers became a household name in the late 1960s with their variety show, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. The show was groundbreaking in its approach to comedy, pushing the boundaries with political satire and social commentary. The show also featured up-and-coming musical acts, including The Doors and The Who, and introduced the world to comedians like Steve Martin and George Carlin.
    The Smothers Brothers' irreverent style has made them a beloved and enduring force in American comedy.

    PDQ Bach will always be one of the greatest musicians this side of Spike Jones! 🤣🤣
    RIP Peter Schickele. You will be missed.

    His control of the lasso d'amore was truly impressive.

    I once drove three hours to watch him live, the weekend before driving three hours to the next town for a burn (many-person camping and stuff). It turned out to be his final tour. I am so glad I was willing to drive three hours.

      ⁠​⁠@@mary5827It was called “Schickele Mix,” and was certainly about the most interesting mix of various styles of music ever. Not P. D. Q. Bach, this was Peter Schickele, the musical mixologist, at his best. I remember meeting you once, and may you Rest in One Piece.

    It is so nice to see so many PDQ Bach performances re -surface. While I never had the opportunity to see Peter perform live, at least I have a number of his albums that I can play over and over. RIP Peter/PDQ you will be remembered.

    His symphony broadcast similar to broadcasting a ballgame is a memorable classic!

      "New Horizons in Music Appreciation" - which I'm told gives a decent analysis of the first movement of Beethoven's Symphony #5, among all its sportscasting cliches.

    I was a huge fan of Peter Schickele's and saw him live multiple times. One of the funniest reviews I ever read was by a college student who went to a PDQ Bach concert expecting something along the lines of JS Bach and was aghast and offended by his "desecration" of classical music. (My friends and I passed that review around and laughed ourselves silly.)
    So sad to find out that he's gone. I'm glad that the Smothers Brothers had the good taste to put him on their show. It's too bad we've lost Tommy Smothers and Now Peter Schickele. If there's a heaven or some kind of afterlife, the music is a whole lot funnier right now.

    Met him once outside the Cloisters in New York. My favorite number of his (that I've heard) is "As You Came From Walsingham" from his music for "The Knight of the Burning Pestle," as I mentioned to him. ("Miserere do re miserere re mi fa sol la-di-da, et in unum hic haec hocus pocus ha'ha'ha," etc.) The songs of this score are available on UA-cam.

    Didn't know he was on the Smothers Brothers! I thought I would have remembered this (having watched it all on TV), but I do remember in 1984 seeing Peter and David Wii perform the Erotica Variations in Kansas City - wonderful performance, no one can play the windbreaker like Peter -- warm wishes for Peter and his family.

    I remember seeing P.D.Q. Bach for the first time through the Smothers Brothers. It wasn’t this one. I remember it was a conductor and the platform he was on moved so he could lean as he conducted.

    Fascinating to hear the intervals on that whirled instrument. It brought back a memory from nearly 60 years ago. I was using an electric razor, and noticed the sound it made when near my open mouth. As I gradually closed my mouth, it made sounds like the chord Shickele made by whirling his instrument faster, than slower.

    Watching dear Peter so deftly wield that lasso d'amore brings to mind something he said in an interview, that, as Spike Jonze (one of his early influences) found out, you actually have to play even more carefully and precisely to make it sound as if you're playing randomly. My kingdom for another episode of PDQ Bach on the Air, his first recorded collection. You made the world a little funnier, and a little more bearable, dear Professor Schickele. I wish you well......
