Tom Lehrer

When I was at school in the late 60s, our Music teacher would play us records by Tom Lehrer. Not the very rude ones, but the more acceptable ones.

If you don’t know TL, here’s a clip:

Lehrer was a very clever chap. He had a Masters from Harvard by the age of 19. He sang comic, and not so comic songs to amuse his chums.

He chose to release them and they were a big success, but then Lehrer retired from the showbiz in around 1960 after just a few years. He died in 2025 at a ripe old age.

His biography is very interesting and worth a read.
