  • A friend of mine conducted a P. D. Q. Bach concert in which I played auxiliary percussion. Before stepping to the podium to conduct Oedipus Tex, he played the schlagenfrappe in this song. On the last note, the tube broke in half over his head. It brought down the house.

  • Thank you for posting this! Will be performing these pieces this summer and this is a wonderful resource! Cheers!

  • Thanks for an excellent performance of a deservedly forgotten piece of music.

  • I watched this bit countless times on the Smothers Brothers as a kid. I wore that poor VHS tape out, and it's great to see another performance of it here. Thank you so much for posting it.
