Thanks very much, Benjamin!

Thank you so much, will do!

Thank you! I really like to focus on a specific album occasionally.

Thanks, Dereck!

Hi Rob! Peter Schickele is best known for his comedy-classical PDQ Bach records, but this is definitely more for the psych-prog listener. Not sure how easy any of it would be to find in the UK. Thanks as always for watching! New video coming today.

Thanks, Edward, you too!

Glad you kind of enjoyed it! You were really the inspiration for me adding some needle drops...I had had some bad luck trying to include samples in the past so I've mostly avoided it over the years. But I see how you're able to include a bunch every week. Thanks for stopping by!

Michael, my Sunday show gets 4 or 5 warning that just say if I use the samples I won’t get paid. No big deal. For me it’s the samples that peop,e enjoy especially with music you don’t know. I have had only 1 or 2 samples that I could not play.

I think the first couple of times I tried to use samples I had to re-edit and re-upload the videos without them or they would have been blocked in most countries, including the USA. That was before RU-vid had the feature that you can just mute or delete the part in question. I was really put off by that, especially that I couldn't include a Lovin' Spoonful sample in memory of someone I loved very much who had died.

Hi Richard! Thanks for watching!

I have always loved PDQ Bach ever since I discovered him in the '70s via the "Wurst Of" album!

I think I've shown a PDQ Bach album or two in the past. It's hilarious stuff. Anyone will get the musical slapstick aspect of it, with rude sounds and funny lyrics, but the more you know about classical music, the funnier it is. The compositions are really seriously clever. Cheers!

Thanks for watching!

It really is a horrific verse: But most thro’ midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse.

Good question, I don't think it got very much exposure. Thanks for watching!

That's something I forgot to mention: that there are one or two spots that are reminiscent of ELP. Thanks for watching, good to hear from you!

PDQ Bach doesn't seem to be so well known in the UK; I suppose much of the humor is a little "American." (Such as Professor Schickele's post at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople.) The Hoffnung Music Festival might be the British equivalent. Thanks for watching!

@@michaelpdawson I do have Hoffnung. The bricklayer sketch; a classic!

Yes, definitely quite eclectic. Thanks for watching!
