Mr. White. (and the rest of you letter artists): I feel like the mongrel dog looking through the crack in the back door at sheer genius. The most entertaining, (dare I say fact filled yet educational), piece of literature it has been my pleasure to peruse in a long time. I saw a book in Barnes and Noble some time back; a compilation of letters some fellow had written to executives in various large companies, listing myriad yet psychotic complaints, along with the actual answers received from said executives. It was beyond amusing. But this thread! If it is acceptable, I forward a suggestion to compile the "Best of Rambi", and publish it, (or at least, the concept to be considered with additional submissions).

Amazing work, TC. You are to Beethoven what Peter Schickele is to the mysterious PDQ Bach. Certain scholars have claimed that the popularity of J.S. Bach's only-forgotten son is due to the fact that he represents the seamy side of 18th century music, a side which was either neglected or suppressed until the recent development of hard-core musicology. Music critics, however, have pointed out that audiences seem to be moved to the point of laughter by P.D.Q. Bach's egregious limitations, and this more than anything else accounts for the irresponsible enthusiasm shown by these audiences; to them and to thousands of record buyers, P.D.Q. Bach can do no right. --from the notes of Professor Peter Schickele THE MUSIC OF P.D.Q.
