The career of Tom Lehrer

Lehrer wrote maybe fifty comedy songs, did a little more than one hundred concerts, and stopped performing many years ago. The last things he did was to write some songs for a 1964 TV-show, and releasing a record in 1965. He also toured Scandinavia reluctantly in 1967. And he did a few things after that.

But he has mainly been a mathematician and university lecturer, not an artist. In fact, he is a member of The Phi Beta Kappa Society, and he was very serious about his teaching.
