Letters from Lehrer

[eveglass]

Tonight's thought of the night, courtesy of Tom Lehrer: “It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.”

As the subject line might imply, I went to see a one-man tribute to Tom Lehrer tonight. The writer and performer was named Richard Greenblatt, and it was actually quite a funny (and for me, nostalgic) show. It reminded me how much I love Tom Lehrer's lyrics, how much they're still relevant, and how I can occasionally use funny accents when I sing them. In fact, the most difficult part of the night was NOT singing along to the performance.

And, as an extra bonus feature, someone with way too much time of their hands made a flash animation to the Elements Song. You can see it at http://www.privatehand.com/flash/elements.html

That's it for me. G'night all!

I've heard good things about Greenblatt. He performed on PEI, once.
