[Dixielandjazz] Piano vs. Piano

[david richoux]

Somewhere in my collection of old programs and playbills I have a 
program for a Peter Schickele - P.D.Q. Bach concert with the San 
Francisco Symphony. In the fine print it had something like this: 
"Professor Schickele plays whatever piano is available, exclusively."

BTW, his website is http://www.schickele.com and should be read by ALL 
musicians and music fans!
