Spike Jones City slickers?

Schickele also composed the arrangements for a couple of Joan Baez albums back in the day for Vanguard. "Noel" and "Baptism." All of those arrangements are quite original and some of them are very good, indeed.

Schickele mix! I knew I heard pdq melodies on public radio! I am sad to hear that he has passed. Music made into and fun of itself!

Sno one knows how-to dance!!

HAVE A GOOD MEAL !

MANY, MANY MORE HAPPY YEARS TO PLAY !!! TODAY I AM GOING TO MANHATANN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FOR YOUR CONCERT !!!

Great interview. Always been a fan of Peter Schickele, P.D.Q. Bach and Maestro Slatkin. The maestro may remember me for a couple of times I told him I know Stuart Pearl (Violinist At That Time) who he did a concert with way back in his early school days out in California. Looking good maestro at age eighty. I'm right behind you at age 76. Wish I looked that good.

a couple others to admit to the pantheon of accomplished composer-satirists: Spike Jones, Frank Zappa

GK Chesterton writes about this game in The Flying Inn. Read it, I highly recommend it.

Wonderful to see the Maestro in such good form. He's been one of my favorites since I was 16, and observed him rehearsing with the Boston Unversity Tanglewood Orchestra (high school), in which he treated them with such respect, and also tried to give them as much practical know-how for the future as was possible. In Scheherezade, he showed different ways they might encounter it conducted -- and all having been a bit rushed -- they didn't even have a score for him but he had the rehearsal letters memorized! Happy Birthday! (BTW I live right near Tanglewood)

Truly fascinating. Who knew that maps could communicate so much. And I am familiar with Campbell House, which is simply a walk through history. Highly recommend!!

Nice job!

Yes

The older generation artists had no clue about Auto-Tune or electronic pitch correction. It's a shame that so many of the younger generation has depended upon these electronics. The electronics can make someone sound so perfect, they don't sound HUMAN. I very much appreciate singer/performers like John Lloyd Young who actually can sing LIVE. I will be seeing Young in Irvine CA in the next year, and appreciate that he is touring on the West Coast

I heard that one of the Christmas traditions ( after you finished off any brandy that was used for burning the raisins) was to Try and pick up and eat one of the pieces of dried fruit while it was still on fire

John Lloyd Young is the best singer in the world.

I love my nephew Devin great job I hope to see you again.

Devin you have an amazing voice. Loved your performance in Portland.

Enjoyed her!!!!!

The tape of the song Working My Way Back To You has the music and lyrics credited to the Spinners. That is incorrect. The writers are Rendell and Linzer. That being said, his work in the play was phenomenal. I attended a cast party with him and he was very nice. Problem with him is his left-wing politics and his hateful talk about Trump.

Fun!

Hey that song is sung by bill halie and the comics

Just brilliant. John Lloyd is such an incredible artist. He has such a caring heart. Those of us not in the US love his live’s at shows. Thank you for such a lovely interview with a true star ❤

Excellent interview! Love the Blue Strawberry club and its unique vibe as well. John Lloyd truly has a vocal range like no other. Looking forward to seeing him next month, and beyond!

Sorry not Blue Strawberry but will be seeing this super fabulous performer in Ireland and London in June and July. No. 1️⃣ for excitement. 🇦🇺❤️🕶️🎤2️⃣

John is amazing! Can’t wait to see him in May!

Thoose kids in the front were really into the whole machine Very nice

This song is the first recorded appearance of the ugly racist slur: "jigaboo." (according to OED.) The word had probably been in common racist usage for most of the previous century. But this hit song in a hit Broadway musical was the first time it appeared in PRINT (as far as scholars know.) Its appearance in this song is seamlessly embedded within the whole racist and colonialist message of this song: In the song: An Irish man (long considered the bottom of the English social system) is cast away on an island. The natives make him king (since presumably, even the lowest white man is naturally king material among dark skinned people, a la Tarzan). Thrilled and excited at being a king among dark peoples, the Irish castaway-turned-Nabob invites his "little Irish Rose" to join him and become queen over the island's people. "My little Irish Rose So, come to your Nabob And next Patrick's Day Be Mistress Mumbo Jumbo Jigaboo J. O'Shea." J*gaboo is (like the N-word) one of the ugliest slurs in American racist language. And this was embedded in a song that was the hit within a hit broadway musical in 1909 (at the raging height of Jim Crow and lynch law). The crude white supremacy (which is celebrated here in a exuberantly comedic and shameless way) is typical for this era (of blackface and minstrel shows). And when people "revive" this broadway hit today (a century later) it is revealing what they choose to do with it. Expose it? Explain it? Or pretend everything is fine, perfect, nostalgic? Maurice Scott chose (consciously, I assume) to white wash this song and its racist slur (while joyfully embracing its larger white superiority message.) He replaces the ugly slur "jigabo" with a mumbled nonsense word "jijibob." This is one way that overt white racism (which in the decade surrounding 1909 was in the midst of a truly murderous wave of lynching) is covered up. And even celebrated. Note: My post here (and any factual exposure of such things) is probably illegal in now Florida schools -- since CRT is forbidden by law!

OOOOH! Listen to this! We will ge there. Karen Mason is the coolest woman on earth!

Bruh, the start scared me

this old lady travelled far to the museum from belgium antwerp. glady see this machine is still working properly.

Chuck, it's terrific! Esp the part where you toot the birthday party horn for Mozart! ALSO - - - thanks for mentioning ME! (am I aggressive? I prefer to think of it as being persistent....tho there is that fine line between persistence and pest)

This young man does such a wonderful job with his performance. We just saw it in Chattanooga and it was so well done.

If there is one reason to come to Phoenix is the MIM the instruments they have is just amazing and they are always looking for donations

Great interview!

Absolutely fantastic. Would have loved to hear more! Thank you for uploading and sharing!

She should have had a microphone so we could hear everything she said more clearly! Anyway, thanks for the video!

Congratulations to those who restored this wonderfull machine, it's fabulous.

Update the set with like some unique projections and theming. I don't like all this blue.

❤... I am honored to share the stage with Helene. We were guest speakers at St. Charles Department of Corrections November 2, 2023. Thank you 💕

Should have focused more on that marvelous machine than those kids!

horrible!

A mono Pod could have helped wt your filming. It was too shaky. YOU QUIT THE RECORDING TOO SOON! LEARN your camera to make better, earthquake free videos.
