He is a genius. And I was going to write that the ghost of Tom Lehrer is smiling down on him but then I googled to check and bless his heart he’s alive at 97.
Thanks for sharing your brother in law. His music is awesome. And that wicked smile is priceless.
If Mr. Shore will publish the lyric sheets, with chords, there will be thousands of troubadours playing and singing these songs around the country. They are “tux-”ing fantastic!! Thank you.
I just loved “The Tariff Song” - “Oh, you can’t slap tariffs on a Penguin, on a Penguin, on a Penguin”. He is a genius!!! I’m subscribed to his YouTube channel now.
Tom Lehrer never went out of style for us fogies!
Was just thinking of him. Dan carries on a cherished tradition.
Thanks for sharing your brother-in-law’s talent with us…a great way to start my day

One of the perks (?) of living in the upside-down is that some of my best poetry and music finds this year came through Tim Snyder and Paul Krugman.
Best since Tom Lehrer

That song has miraculously cured my backache. I can laugh without anything hurting.
I love that!
He is brilliant indeed! Thanks for sharing these Tim and for putting a smile on my face on a Saturday morning.
