OMG. I adore Professor Schickele. I only have four albums and the Autobiography . . . I have lots of shoppin’ to do!

I have 11, and there are many I haven't heard.

I had the privilege of seeing Schickele stage "Hansel and Gretel and Ted and Alice" about 25 years ago in L.A. The same disk features "The Art of the Ground Round" which is hilarious.

The Liebeslieder Polkas may be one of those pieces that outlives him. (He's 75.)

The 1712 Overture is a clever takeoff on Tchaikovsky.

And don't miss "Oedipus Tex" with its country duet.
