I have a question:
Great, run the DNA tests... But...
What's their primer? They can get DNA test results from the skull no problem, but do they have a piece of DNA frmo Mozart from when he was alive? What are they comparing the skull results to?

I always got the biggest kick out of Peter Schickele's story of "PDQ Bach", and how after some of his music was "discovered", PDQ's remains were dug up out of his rather well-to-do gravesite, and transferred to a "Pauper's grave" ! # Real "low-brow" humor for some of us "highbrows" ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
You've never heard of PDQ Bach? ! ? !

Jim AG3Y, I met Peter Schickele in 1990 when I was a soloist for his PDQ Bach "The Seasonings" with Baltimore Choral Arts and the Baltimore Symphony. He conducted it. Was lots of fun.
PDQ Bach was "the last and least" of JS Bach's children....

Steve, that's absolutely FANTASTIC! # #Were you the "Bargain-Counter Tenor" ? #"Do you suffer from the pain" ? ( or was that another one of his many creations? ) # http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif #http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
I do remember "If you got the money, honey, I've got the thyme !"
Do you remember ( I hope I have the title straight ) "12 Not-quite-so-heavenly pieces" that Schickele did with John Farranti ( the original "bargain-counter tenor" ? ) I really think the guy was on weed at the time !
73 and great to hear from you again. # Jim AG3Y
No Jim.... I was the Basso Blotto. HAW!!! My big solo was "Open Sesame... Seeds."
"If you've got the money, honey, I've got the Thyme" was also in The Seasonings.
Somehow , I have never equated the pictures of you with a Bass voice! Which brings up the question, what DID HAPPEN to your picture?
"See, See, See, See, Seashore !" What a HOOT !

Actually, the words are '"Open sesame seeds, and see what you can see... see.... see........ C-SHARP!" (With the last note being, of course, a C-sharp.) Haw!
(Apologies to those who don't know what the f$@%# we are talking about.)
Yes, I have a low-ish voice. What were you imagining??
I think my Avitar picture is busted because I don't have my old ISP any more, and the Avitar was a link to the pic on their server. If there were a way to link my Avitar to my QRZ picture, I guess I'd do that.

John Ferrante: And there were in the same country,
Shepherd's Pies that lacked but one ingredient.
And so the shepherds' chef sought out a
soothsayer, saying:
W3SY: Soothsayer! Say unto me the sooth!
Yes, PDQ was the last, and certainly the least, of Johann Sebastian's twenty-odd children. Also the oddest.
I performed the 1712 Overture under Prof. Pete's baton a few years ago, popping the balloons for the cannon shots (among other percussion stuff). Seems fitting that this Saturday I'll be "firing" some more persuasive SFX for the 1812!

On the "Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie" thread, someone mentioned "Silent Running". Guess which Professor at the University of Southern North Dakota at Hoople wrote the score for that movie?
I've got some of Walter/Wendy's records from when she/he was still only a "He" Are we confused, yet?
Oh, C-Sharp ! Now it all makes sense to me ! Yaa, Right ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif And here, all these many years, I thought it was a play on words having to do with "location" !
Yup, we pretty much swiped this thread, didn't we, fellow musicians !
I still throw Vangelis on in the car when I have had a rough day at work ! "Ernest and Julio Gallow - - - No wine before it's time" indeed ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
I've only heard the "1712" once! It is GREAT! And of course, there is the "UnBegun Symphony"
One of my favorite routines goes back to the very early recordings, New Horizons in Music Appreciation (Beethoven Sportscast) from "The Report from Hoople" a mock play-by-play broadcast of the 1st movement of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony complete with a "mess-up" by the French Horn player, etc. And I also love the "Tramaria" ( sp ? ) that was recorded "live" on PDQs original piano . ( seems it could have used a little restoration work ) Such a wild and fertile imagination!
I'd point you to the page, but I might be accused of becoming "commercial", and I certainly am not intending to do that!
73 ya'all, we now return this string to it's regularly scheduled . . . . schedule ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
Iphegenia, IPHEGENIA!!! ...in Brooklyn...

Wasn't that Orson Welles selling Paul Masson wine?
I honestly cannot tell you. #I guess that would make it NOT a good commercial, huh ? # #I thought it was John Houseman ( old professor on "The Paper Chase" ) #No, I guess his famous line was "we do it the old fashion way, we eeeaaaarrrn it ! " #Darn, I can't seem to remember THAT product, either! # #Man, it really SUCKS to get old! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
That's alright, at least I know what a RECORD is ! http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Iphegenia in Brooklyn?
"Oh, ye gods! Who knows what it is
To be running? Only he who is running knows!"
Run running knows
Run running knows
Running running running running run-ning-nose.
In the "New Horizons in Music Appreciation", did you catch the "offending" players' names? First horn is Bobby Corno (Corno = Horn), and the oboist is Hy Wood (oboe comes from the French "haut bois", meaning "high wood").
Schickele's a true musical genius - and before him there was Allan Sherman: "Peter and the Commissar", "The End of a Symphony" and "Variations on 'How Dry I Am'".
And of course, "Hello Muddah, Hello Fadduh".
Oh, you gotta give a link to this under-appreciated genius of popular musical parody !

Jim - THANK YOU for putting the link in! Without that I wouldn't have realized that in only SEVEN DAYS, "Peter and the Commissar" is going to be released on CD! My vinyl is so full of scratches it's hard to hear the words these days. Guess I can retire it - or sell it on eBay, along with my two Leonard Nimoy albums http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif .
Got my CD pre-ordered! Thanks again.
