3/6/24 On hiatus this week, host David Latulippe instead offers a tribute to the late, great Peter Schickele, aka PDQ Bach, a seminal influence on his life as a young musician. You’ll hear “PDQ Bach On the Air” - David’s first exposure to the classical comic genius. The premise: a radio “Report from Hoople” - Hoople being the site of the fictional University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople” and where much of PDQ’s music was “discovered”. Schickele offers a “Bright and Early Show” and a “Late and Dull Show” replete with baroque-style advertisements, farm reports, and the famous “New Horizons in Music Appreciation”, where Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is offered with color commentary from sports announcers.
Join us Wednesdays @ 4:00pm PST.
