Markngolf has been presenting a lot of selections of music from the '50s. Most of them weren't my style, as I was kind of nerdy then and more interested in classical stuff. And I haven't grown up since then. But there were a few things from the '50s I enjoyed, one of them was the music of Tom Lehrer. Here is one that is interesting (if dated) and appropriate for the family (unlike other songs of Mr. Lehrer). Unfortunately one of his songs made some comments about Werner von Braun, who sued and terminated Tom's career of songwriting (or at least song performing).

Thanks for introducing Tom Lehrer to me. I never heard of him before. Lots of enjoyment!

He's a clever guy - 93 and living in Manhattan. As for Werner, freedom of speech goes only so far where German rocket scientists are concerned.
