So am I - at one time I could sing almost every song (although not always in tune). I never could learn the elements in the right order, though. We haven't heard from George on this topic, though - Lehrer's songs are just his type of fun.

My son has a really good turntable/recording setup and I should find where the records are stored and have him duplicate them. I'm sure the copyrights are long out-dated. But it's nice to know about the CDs being available......

>>Two game wardens, seven hunters and a purebred Jersey cow? I was at a Gilbert & Sullivan show one evening when the lead baritone paused for applause after singing "Modern Major General" and then launched into "The Elements". Got a MUCH bigger hand. I've got the albums - but no record player any longer :-(

>"An Evening Wasted" and "That was the Year That Was" are widely available on really well-mastered, good quality CDs, and I can put my copies from vinyl on audio cassette from DAT. The advantage of doing "high-end" audio back before CDs is having a good turntable and unreasonably overpriced catridge for it. And lots of Japanese and German vinyl from 1970-1980 or so that never made it onto CD.
