P.D.Q.

I don't know what it was that got me thinking about it again, but yesterday P.D.Q. Bach came to mind. I used to have some of his "A Little Nightmare Music" and others on a scratchy tape in college and adored it. Wandered over to Amazon to see what he was up to and stumbled into a treasure trove of PDQ-ness - I wanted them ALL... Ended up ordering the big collected set as my birthday/Christmas present to myself, and used my daughter's gift certificate for Amazon to pay for part of it as she wants to hear it too and says it can be 'from her to me' that way to help us both rationalize it. We were singing a couple of the 'ground rounds' together as we typed it all in. "Jaaaaane...my Jane....you are my queeeeen...." *snicker*

I love classical music, but not in the intense scholarly way - I can only make wild guesses at the names of composers and pieces when I hear them - but that quirk in my humor makes me gravitate to Prof. Schikele and his great parodies. Probably the same quirk that makes me love Weird Al and Dr. Demento. Can't wait for it to get here now, even though I will be *strong* (strong! strong!) and wrap it in giftwrap to save for Christmas anyway.

I loved the original Elfquest storyline - I have the first 6 books, 4 of them with the more delicate coloring before Marvel 'ruined' the artwork with its comic-book coloring look. It was Wendy Pini's artwork that drew me in, long ago - I found the tale began to get too weird and less believable to me as it continued, and ended up not pursuing it further, but especially like Cutter's orignial quest in the first 4. Great characters!

Totally agree with you there about EQ! I only like the first series.

As to classical music, Mozart rules. I like some opera. Beethoven and Bach are good too. I like all kinds of music, really.
