A hysterically irreverent examination of the world of classical music as seen through the eyes of Johann Sebastian Bach's long-forgotten relative, P.D.Q. Bach, and Peter Schickele. Relish such P.D.Q. classics as the recently discovered Four Next-to-Last Songs and the heart-rendering Shepherd on the Rocks, With a Twist, which features Prof. Schickele playing the tromboon (a cross between a trombone and a bassoon). The Jekyll or is it Hyde part of the program features songs by Peter Schickele, including the notorious rock n roll settings of famous Shakespeare speeches, as heard on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion.
