That explains why I can appreciate the following without having the language to explain much if my appreciation.

Note: slight "#mature" theme here. I'm not applying a CW - when I was a kid, this would have caused a 12-year-old to titter, but kids these days have read and seen far more explicit stuff a thousand times.
So I wanted to post something that wasn't politics, that isn't news or topical. Something amusing, maybe, and something I've not posted before. I happened to be reminded of the novel Singularity Sky by Charles Stross yesterday, which has as #inspiration for part of it the #Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
That reminded me of a Fringe experience of mine. So here it is. It won't make you rich, or smarter, or wiser, but maybe will give you a laugh.
My partner and I went to a tiny Fringe festival in a small town some years ago. It was basically a whistle stop between two cities in western Canada; I have no idea why the touring Fringe would even stop there, but it did, at least some of it.
One of the performances we saw was a version of MacBeth. It was highly #abbreviated, sort of a cross between a Reader's Digest condensed version, and what you would get if P.D.Q. Bach had an English cousin who did Shakespeare.

An excellent find, buried in the back room off Readers' Cove Used Books & Gallery in Deming, N.M. I did not even know this book existed: a 1976 hardcover publication of a “definitive biography of PDQ Bach” by Peter Schickele. It includes illustrations, sheet music, and a combination of satirical musical scholarship with lots of puns and dad jokes.

I will always remember the day I grabbed a random classical CD from the UMaine library to listen to while I was studying - and stumbled upon #PDQBach. The music will live on, an enduring tribute to the genius of Peter Schickele. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/music/peter-schickele-dead.html?unlocked_article_code=1.QU0.T3yB.33WuAhWkv9f7&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

P.D.Q. Bach is dood, 88 jaar geworden. Mijn eerste kennismaking met P.D.Q. Bach was zijn uitvoering van de Vijfde van Beethoven voorzien van voetbalcommentaar. Heerlijk. #PDQBach #PeterSchickele https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/17/arts/music/peter-schickele-dead.html

In honor of Peter Schickele, a piece the YouTube algorithm wanted me to see this morning -- Eine Kleine Nichtmusik #PDQBach #PeterSchickele

With the recent passing of Peter Schickele, I wanted to recount the story of the best concert opening I ever saw. It may have been clouded in myth and hazy memory of childhood, but this is how I think he would have wanted to be remembered.
I was in gradeschool, and my parents took me to a concert of his in Seattle. It was at a venue that I think was once a church, because it had a giant pipe organ, and the organ console rose out of the orchestra pit on some kind of hydraulic system.
The house lights dimmed, and the organ began to play Bach's Toccata in D. Bombastic cliché, but I was groovin' to it, as it was a piece I recognised. The organ console rose out of the pit as the player, dressed in a big grey fright-wig, swayed over the keys dramatically.
And then the sound of an engine revving came from the direction of the lobby, competing with the organ. It got louder and rougher, and finally a follow spot activated on the doors to the central aisle. They suddenly burst open.
In burst Schickele, dressed in what I want to say was a biker jacket with tails (though he may simply have worn the leathers over a tailcoat). He strode into the middle of the spotlight, pulled out a replica pistol from some western, and *BANG!*
The organist slumped onto the console, which began lowering down into the pit again. Schickele strode down the central aisle, beaming, and climbed onto the stage to begin the night's performance.
The house went wild.
RIP Peter Schickele (1935-2024). #PDQBach scholarship will never be the same without you.

#PDQBach A side note - there really *is* a Hoople, North Dakota, but it isn't in *Southern* North Dakota - it's a few miles from the Canadian Border.
