Entire Tom Lehrer catalog up for grabs
Love Tom Lehrer! What he created and what he's done for the public domain. From the Vatican Rag to New Math to Who's got the bomb. Those are songs embedded deep within my brain never to leave even if dementia should set in.

This! Totally! I sing his songs in my head all the time!
eta: The Elements has got to be my favorite, but it would take me ten years to learn it well enough to sing it

Thanks for posting this. I'm a big fan. I hope he is not on the way out.
Given his age and his gift to us I would think he is quite aware of his time left on this planet. He is 94 and not all of us can get to the Betty White stage. But yes, when he passes, in spite of his long life it will be very sad. Check out his background by the way on Wikipedia. Fascinating.

So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money.
THIS WEBSITE WILL BE SHUT DOWN AT SOME DATE IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE, SO IF YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD ANYTHING, DON’T WAIT TOO LONG.
