What? They can't take a joke? <br /><br />When I think of how we used to blow off steam in the Old School U.S. Army (circa the early 1980s), I am sooo glad that no one had digital video recorders then.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-83352411730697763702010-07-06T14:31:14.611-07:002010-07-06T14:31:14.611-07:00LOOKS LIKE IT'S BECOME A SOUNDTRACK TROOP MOVE...LOOKS LIKE IT'S BECOME A SOUNDTRACK TROOP MOVEMENT.

One of my biggest losses in the Katrina flood was a photo of Lehrer he inscribed to me when I was in the second grade in 1965. I'd memorized one of his albums and my dad pulled some strings to get the photo (or he faked it - was never sure). The Werner Von Braun song is a keeper for sure. Nothing much beats The Vatican Rag, though.Look at the Marty Feldman BBC cover. You would be startled by how much listening to Tom Lehrer influenced the course of my life. Not really for the best, obviously, but it's been interesting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-45498683168302798882010-07-04T19:12:45.662-07:002010-07-04T19:12:45.662-07:00I had a High School teacher who loved those Tom Le...I had a High School teacher who loved those Tom Lehrer songs, and used to play them in class.
