I just finished producing “Sweetness and Light,” which will air, as usual, this Saturday morning at 11:00 EST/8:00 PST on KWAX. Taking a cue from the show’s signature tune, “Puppets on Parade” by Rudolf Friml, I figured I’d go full-on puppet/marionette this week. I turned up plenty of material in my own music collection, of course, but in bouncing around the internet for ideas, I stumbled across this marionette performance of Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt” that employs the famous incidental music by Edvard Grieg. It’s not on my show, but if you’re of a certain age, perhaps it still haunts your memories of elementary school music class. Watch through your fingers, if you dare; then join me for “Puppet Masters” on “Sweetness and Light,” this Saturday morning on KWAX!
