Peter Schickele has been around forever - in his 80s now. He’s actually written quite a bit of things, including movie and theatrical scores (Silent Running, Oh Calcutta) and worked a lot with Joan Baez. But he best known for PDQ Bach.

His PDQ Bach “On The Air” was not only a great showcase for his satirical Bach but a great poke at Radio too. One of my favorites..”Report From HOOPLE!”

Yes, he is now 80. I heard him perform 49 years ago. I once met his father, Rainer Schickele (1905-1989).

I got him to sign my copy of the Autobiography of P.D.Q Bach many years ago.

Quite entertaining man. Very talented too!
