God bless PDQ and the good Professor for keeping his legacy alive!
Ironically - the PDQ Bach albums were a critical part of my introduction to Classical music: I knew there was something funny that I was missing, so I went about exploring it further!!
I was fortunate to attend the premiere of his Concerto for Horn&Hardart, 50+ years ago, during his senior-class concert at (the old) Juilliard. I've been a life-long fan of his ever since. I should have realized that his inspiration was Spike Jones.
BTW, Snyder, you were wrong. Jones' arrangement wasn't of Tea for Two--it was Cocktails for Two.
