Jeffery Peter most certainly did make such recordings, and multiple CD's and -- remember these? -- vinyl records were produced from his concerts. I forget which one, but one of the cuts on one of his albums was from a concert I attended. I had thought that Schickele had quit doing PDQ Bach concerts and am glad to find out that I am wrong: for years, he would only do a piece or two at his Christmas concerts in New York. His web-site is worthy of a visit: http://www.schickele.com/ "And now for a picture of the building housing the Department of Automotive Repair and Macro-Economics at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople". And, of course, RIP, PDQ Bach, that maven of Wein-am-Rhein, born in 1807 and dead in 1742, thanks to the chicanery of the Bach family. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
