I still know ALL the words to "The Preacher and the Slave" and "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night".

Not that I believe one doggone word those old Commies said . . . but as Tom Lehrer said, "they may have won all the battles . . . but we had all the good songs!"

>Tom Lehrer

Now that is another VERY old name.

I can still get about 1/4 quarter of the way through "The Elements."

I loved it when he explained Base Eight math as being exactly like Base Ten Math, with your thumbs cut off.

You will eat by and by
In that wonderful land above the sky.
Work and pray, live on hay.
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

Joe Hill, 1911
