Luc Clouseau is the proud son of the French inspector Jacques Clouseau. Having the same talent as his father for investigation, he is to police investigation what P.D.Q. Bach is to music, a total disaster. When young and since his first name is Luc, he identified himself as Luke Skywalker and he was wet dreaming about Princess Leia. Unfortunately for him, he learned in the third Star War episode that Luke and Leia were siblings. His space soldier career then ended abruptly and he decided to pursue a career in the police. At the beginning of his career he was shot in the butt and had to work in the office on a wheelchair for 12 months, which gave him the nick name of Ironside in reference to Chief Robert T. Ironside. 

Luc Clouseau was assigned to investigate about what happened at the Boneman Mansion. Hopefully he will do better than his father.

Musical note: Some melodic notes for the horns from Star War (1977) by John Williams were borrowed as well as for the trumpets from The Ironside (1967) by Quincy Jones and finally for the trombonnes the rythmic from Mission Impossible (1966) by Lalo Schifrin. Ho yes, by the way, P. D. Q. Bach is a fictional composer created by the American composer and musical satirist Peter Schickele

Musical note: You may recall the theme I used in the Rust & Bones Inspector Looso track. However, this time I tried to use the humor and derision of John Williams and added the sarcastic tone of the American composer and musical satirist Peter Schickele who created the fictional composer P.D.Q. Bach as well as the Gerhard Hoffnung humoristic music.

Mr.Peter Pencil, which is well known for his blue suit and lizard pin, vanished during a business trip somewhere in Italy. His mistress Penny Pen was desperate and called the police to investigate. Young Inspector Looso was assigned to this case by his boss hoping this investigation would sharpen his skills. Looso took charge of this case as if he was one of the Raiders of the lost Pencil. Will young Inspector Looso be able to find Mr.Pencil. Let’s hope Mr.Pencil was not violently erased from the surface of the earth?

Musical Notes: Should I be embarrassed that I borrowed to so many composers. Nope. But you may recognize Lorne, Hans, John, Sergey, Pyotr, Maurice and many others. I had so much fun making this pastiche ;o)

Finding Mr.Pencil

Il cuore giovane, triste e smarrito, dal lontano paese natale, sono giunto qui. Per ritrovare quel volto familiare, ho attraversato mari, monti e cieli.
Lei, la mia stella, il mio splendente sole, è promessa ad altri, il suo cuore è lontano. Sognavo di abbracciarla ancora una volta, ora vedo l'ultima speranza svanire.
Destino crudele, hai portato via il mio amore, ma non puoi spegnere la luce nel mio cuore. Il tempo guarirà le ferite dell'anima, ma mai cancellerà il dolce nome tuo.

My warmest thanks to everyone stopping by for listening to my  'REVIEW   OF THE PAST TIME PIANISTS' INTERPRETATIONS ON THE HISTORICAL PIANO ROLLS, and also to a minor LIST of MY MY OWN RENDITIONS, all of the latter representing a variety of piano music & some pipe-organ classics, - and  TO THE Growing LISTS OF (just lately done and reproduced)  TRANSCRIPTIONS OF VARIOUS CHAMBER MUSIC CLASSICAL PEARLS FOR TWO PIANOS.
A HEADSET IS RECOMMENDED for optimal sound experience!
This kind of 'touching' on these old pre-sound-rec. era works by the great performers of the past, and giving my sound to these old 'punch rolls',  makes me feel  deep humbleness, .and I wish that this modest attempt to bring these  performances alive will satisfy you listening to them!
To introduce myself...
I am a Finnish M.D., PhD. and Hand Surgeon (now retired), previously when young with 10 years of professionally orientated piano studies at Turku Conservatory in 1965-1975, partly  along with medical University studies. 
The digital sound techniques have become very familiar to me already from 1980's along with my university research work  
and my musical activities.
As continuation to my musical and professional experience, I have, during the last few years of my retirement, adopted a music historical challenge
to bring the past time major and minor pianists, prior to sound-recording era, onto the same 'start line' with the present pianists, by making their presentations, played onto 'punch rolls' i.e. piano rolls, audible with modern digital techniques. This wouldn't be possible without the pioneering  efforts of Richard Stibbons, Wayne Stahnke, Terry Smythe, Warren Trachtman, Spencer Chase, and others, who developed the optical digitizing techniques of the piano rolls, and digitized them.

The main part of my recordings here in SC consists of selection recorded by me from optically digitized piano-rolls** (from 1910's on or earlier, classical and 'vintage era'). These recordings of mine are not and will not be commercially unavailable. - The rolls were first optically scanned and converted into a digital form by diverse operators** (see also to the info of each piece). The pieces here were partly (minor part) picked from various open net sources, publicly available, but mainly from the huge archive (n=ca.5000) of digitized copies copies of the original reproducing piano rolls, made available to me by one of the pioneers of roll digitizing tehchniques (willing to keep anonymous), and then recorded from this archive mainly with virtual grand piano (called by me 'Bluethner Model One') modified/re-designed by me, as well as the rec settings. 
Also a minor selection of my own renditions among my records can be found here, included on my playlist 'Bach Goes Virtual', the name of the list telling something about the techniques used for getting the end result... The list includes various organ works by J.S.Bach and others, and also a few piano renditions of mine. Then there are included also various pieces which have been in my repertoire, but here played mainly by the  'guest' great players of the past (before the sound recording era).
MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO THE NOBLE DONOR  OF THIS INVALUABLE PIANO ROLL MATERIAL FOR MY USE!!!
My Sincere Thanks also to The Player Piano Group, UK, for providing me their permission to use the information about the piano rolls collected and provided on their web page ( https://rolls.playerpianogroup.org.uk ),  and for simplifying my short historical presentations of these renditions on their re-publication here!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, MY MOST HUMBLE THANKS TO EVERYONE  OF YOU FOR LISTENING, AND FOR YOUR 'LIKES' & COMMENTS !
YOUR LISTENING & FEEDBACK IS TRULY APPRECIATED..!!.
Use of good headphones or speakers will make your music experience more enjoyable!
Best wishes, all the best
Veikko
