I wonder if it is the same song that Lucy sings. >Has anyone ever seen Irving Kaplansky and Tom Lehrer in the same place at >the same time? They both sing, write silly songs, play piano, and are >mathematics professors, so... As Lucy regularly suggests, I asked her for Prof. Kaplansky's email address and wrote to him. (I also had the pleasure of meeting him after a Lucy show in Berkeley last fall.) He replied by sending me photocopies of his sheet music for "That's Mathematics", "A Song About Pi", and "On an Asteroid With You". Regarding "That's Mathematics", Prof. Kaplansky wrote, "These two verses were inspired by a Tom Lehrer parody and are dedicated to him with admiration" My understanding is that Tom Lehrer was a student of Prof. Kaplansky's at Harvard. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 10:25:15 -0400 From: "Paul Castle" Subject: [lucy-list] Give us a Song! In a cross-posting frenzy, here's one from yesterday's Joni list: Jim L'Hommedieu jlamadoo@one.net wrote: > Lucy Kaplansky would make an excellent spouse. > When I'm frustrated with life, the psychologist in her > would recognize it yet the artist in her would be there > to sing me a song. The other day, Lucy-listers were sending in 'two words' that best described her, after I had called her 'fiercely attractive'. Some wag (Timothy) wrote 'Already Married!' PaulC PS. Sorry to hear about your car, sharon. Hope 'you're' OK?

I have started my very first internet broadcast. It plays folk (some lucy of course, also cry3), but it is really a variety mix of folk, rock and country. So if you would like to check it out, go to www.live365.com", then click on listen and you'll see many stations of various formats. I am in the folk section and my station is called "Maureen's Cafe". I loved putting it together, it was a very exciting first-time project. And I really hope that at least a few people might hear selections from artists/albums that are relatively unfamiliar to them and might be moved to check out the kind of music that we on this list care so much about... Thanks for letting me do this commercial. Maureen. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 May 2000 13:15:45 -0700 From: Maureen Schulz Subject: [lucy-list] re. new internet stream Two things I forgot to mention: First, in order to play this station, you need either Realplayer 7 or the winamp player, and you also do need a cable or dsl, in other words, a broadband connection. It won't work with a modem, I had to do it this way because otherwise the sound quality would have been too poor. Second, my host site gives you the chance to rate the station. So if you could do that, that would be great. Thanks, Maureen. ------------------------------ End of lucy-list-digest V2 #130 ******************************* This has been a posting from the Lucy Kaplansky mail list digest To unsubscribe send mail to Majordomo@smoe.org with "unsubscribe lucy-list-digest" in the body of the message
