Thanks for the laughs and RIP, Peter Schickele.

RIP, Professor Schickele.

He was beyond brilliant. Thank you for everything, Professor Schickele. ❤

We lost TWO legends...Rest in peace, Peter Schickele and P.D.Q. Bach. This is the BEST!

Today it happened. Just when you think the world couldn’t sink any lower…you go and do this. You put this lost, forgotten, back-alley, funny-paper musical album up on KZread… And TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!! I have been searching for this for years. (Obviously not the entire time, for the x number of years). This has made up for a long, lengthy time without hearing the delightful, campy musical humor from the GOAT, in one of his greatest works: Bach on the Air.

In a perfect world, WOOF and PDQ Bach would always be on the air. In the world that exists, sadly, we've now just lost this very creative musicologist. Thank you, dear Mr. Schickele. I'm sure you are already making others laugh in some faraway time and place. RIP

Still the best album of all time !

this album is hilarious throughout

RIP Professor! 😢

"The pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain, the pain..." I feel that way a lot these days - and especially now with the loss of beloved Professor Schickele.

The world is a better place having had you in it. I miss you.😢

More episodes of What's My Melodic Line, please.....and I'm dying to know more about Cassanova's mother, Bossa Nova, What other jewels could Archangelo Spumoni have spun at the ripe old age of 95?! Or more virtuoso piano playing by Heinrich Ziefenblaza on that antique piano....LOL. High fidelity will never recover......😀😀😀

I love you for putting up his music!

I love P.D.Q. Bach -- the last, least, and certainly oddest of Johann Sebastian Bach's 20-odd children -- for letting every one of us particular individual specific comedic risibility-warranting-sub-genre aficionados put up with his uniquely signature music for all of these years beyond the Great War of the Immediately Previous Great Universal Century; And with some Professor Peter Schickele, too; Naturally.

Just as it is with music, the more thoroughly schooled you are in radio broadcasting, the funnier this recording is. Coming out of the intro, he immediately maximizes the distance between himself and his audience and remains ingeniously anti-professional throughout. Multifaceted laugh riot from beginning to end. 😂 P.S. The broken record on the table is frighteningly close to what I actually saw in the studio: CDs lying face-down, so scratched up that it was a miracle that they played at all. 🤣

Ww, I'm literally discovering this upload on its 1st birthday. It was played at a music appreciation session I attended (late 80s), and was hooked on PDQ/Schickele right through his *Schickele Mix* show on NPR. Then in the internet era, amazed once again to discover just how prolific Mr. Schickele really was during the 60s/70s, including "The Open Window" and some scores he did for Sesame Street with and without Robert Dennis. Kinda sad that music's potential fertility is a past tense, at least here.

John Ferrante is fantastic and...just...delightfully unpleasant when needed.

I thought this was the funniest and best thing he ever did.

Ahhhh, to be living in a world when the most tragic news story featured 18 men going to the hospital but none getting critically injured. Our world could do with a few years like that!

I would love it if concerts were reviewed like he did in this masterpiece.

I never thought I'd hear this again! It's my fave PDQ of all time.

Who else understands the irony of a radio announcer dedicating the Schleptet in Eb to "Mr. 4-H Club himself: Harry Herbert Hoover Heever"? at 26:19?

Is your nose all rough/From taking snuff?/You know it will get rougher! A PDQ will prove to you/ That you needn't suffer!
