Tom Lehrer 7/26/2025 - Greg - 07-27-2025
He was a tremendous part of my childhood. I would listen to his albums for hours. I knew all the words. Just recently on the trip in the Eastern Sierra, the Queen decided we should listen to all his old albums. Still knew all the words.
My chance of finding him in Santa Cruz is now ended.

I was saddened to hear that he passed. One of the rare positive shared family things was the love of his music.

Honestly I was only passingly familiar with him. Listened a bit but not a lot.

It was every day at Kaspar house listening to "That was the Year that was"....

My family listened to Dr. Demento religiously during my formative years. My world view has been skewed by Tom Lehrer, spike jones, etc. clever, sometimes cynical, biting criticism wrapped in a funny package.
He’s now jamming in heaven with Ozzy, chuck mangione, Hulk Hogan and the guitarist from Golden earring…
