WOW great job

Thank you very much

I enjoyed it

(like many I also recently fell in love with Mr.Lehrer's music)

Thank you. I feel the need to apologise one more time as this was just a rehearsal. Recording it makes me concentrate, but the quality isn't brilliant. But it's a fair biography of the man.

Thank you so very much. I always relate mr. Lehrer to my early childhood. My dad had a collection of Tom Lehrer discs from his college days,(my dad was a geology major, not a mathematician) and I used to listen to them on my mom's old hi-fi in my bedroom when I was about 9 years old. I forced my dad to play and sing "the Irish Ballad" on our family camp-outs...much to my mom's irritation. :)

I later memorized "lobachevsky" but could never find a Russian translation of those words...

Again, thank you. There's a lot in here that I didn't know, and I'm even thinking of getting myself the Tom Lehrer box set now.

nice job! :-)

Very nice talk! wish the sound was better, and also if you could add the sources in the "about" box for the video. I found "amateur transplant" in youtube, but I'd appreciate the name of the guy who sins the last song quoting "the elements".

thanks!
