Music reviews of P.D.Q. Bach on the Air

Music Review: Your morning drive time introduction to classical music
Rating: 5 Stars

"P.D.Q. Bach: On The Air" is probably the most thematic of the P.D.Q. Bach albums since its sets its musical schtick in the context of an early morning radio show (to wit, "The Bright and Early Show"), not to be confused with programming from the other end of the broadcast day (wit to, "The Dull and Late Show").
One of the things about P.D.Q. Bach is that the more I learned about classical music the funnier I found it. Yes, I have enough memories of my mother insisting on playing the Texaco Opera quiz loudly throughout the house on a Saturday afternoon to appreciate why "What's my Melodic Line?" and its exploration of the mysteries of the Baroque is funny, but it was not until I watched "Amaedus" that I started to understand the humor on a more musical level. I probably should have paid more attention to that Music Appreciation class long ago and far away, but all I remember is my first exposure to P.D.Q. Bach. However, I am guessing the rest of the stuff in that class might have been interesting as well. Ah, youth.
