423. When You Are Old and Gray (Tom Lehrer)

Tom Lehrer's song about love and old age is a worthy companion piece to songs like "Silver Threads Among the Gold".

You can find a YouTube video of Lehrer himself singing this song, so you'd be better to do a search for that rather than wasting time watching this cover.

Tom Lehrer is one of my favorites. you did a bgreat cover. How come your grandson has a Scandinavian name? My Granddad was Axel Carlsson, born 1882 in Småland, Sweden.

[raymondcrooke]

@mmebaudou Maybe because his father has a Welsh name, though he's not Welsh.

And they both have a Chinese name as well!

lol, Tom Lehrer got to me long before Dylan or Cohen, this is rich

[raymondcrooke]

@tafxkz I first heard him when I was fourteen. I think Dylan was getting known a couple of years later.

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks. I will.
