I was just watching the closing credits of "Silent Running" on TV, and I
thought I noticed the name of Peter Schikele, the infamous PDQ Bach
scholar, in the credits for the music. It was small print (the credit
for Joan Baez, which immediately preceded it, was noticeably larger) and
it went quickly, so I'm not sure about this. Some of you out there
probably have this on tape, so could you verify this for me?
Mail responses to me (preferably at the UUCP address), and I'll
summarize.

He does serious stuff every once in a while. -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 20 Aug 85 [3 Fructidor An CXCIII] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7753 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***

From: William Daul / McDonnell-Douglas / APD-ASD <WBD.TYM@OFFICE-2.ARPA> I have sent the following before, but thought it might again be of interest. I have talked with Joan about her Silent Running music. She told me that if she could, she would destroy every copy of the film...to remove all traces of the music. She was embarassed about her music. I don't know why, I loved the movie and her music. Guess it is like Jane Fonda wanting to destroy all copies of BARBARELLA. --Bi//

From: kevin%bach.DEC@decwrl.ARPA (Kevin LaRue -- You can hack anything you want with TECO and DDT) The music for ``Silent Running'' was indeed composed (and conducted) by Peter Schickle. The sound track is (or was) available as Decca DL 7-9188 or STV 81072. Kevin
