Well it looks like our recent migration has not solved the problem of  
software incombatability.

Oh boy, is this a trip down memory lane. I was introduced to the Tom  
Lehrer by my local record shop owner (the ol' drug dealer...). It  
was the 10 LP. As I remember, the cover was mostly red, with a  
scratchy pen and ink drawing of someone I took to be Tom Lehrer,  
adorned with devil's horns and a tail, at a rather surrealistic  
piano. Unfortunately, my copy disappeared a long time ago, so could  
someone verify or correct this memory?


However, the thing that initially sold me was that the record shop  
kept these records under the counter, rather than on the shelves  
with the regular LPs. Remember, this was the early 50s and  
naughty records (at least in the part of world I grew up in) were  
under-the-counter commodities. For a teenager like me, that was the  
highest form of approval.

Then there is the other brass player who is overweight and dealing  
with empasima.  He came flying on the stage gasping for breath.  He  
almost knocked me out of my chair as he dove for a seat.  After my  
initial shock I looked at him, saw his bright red face and decided it  
was about time to call 9-1-1 (emergency services).


Fortunately, the lad did recover.

That last guy is German.  You will remember Ferdinand Ries, born in  
Bonn, student and friend of Beethoven.  Little known fact -  
Ferdinand had three brothers, Frippe Ries, Bippe Ries and Trippe  
Ries.  Not only did they all learn music from Beethoven, they also  
got Beethoven's lousy handwriting, and so when they signed their  
compositions, the publisher mistook their names for the titles as we  
know them today.  These whimsical little bits of ear-candy are the  
only works of the brothers and so they are sometimes referred to as  
Ries's Pieces.
