I really enjoy Tom Lehrer's music, which was sort of topically humorous. It's easy to say that "Alma" is one of my favorites of his songs. But so many of his songs are among my favorites that the word "favorites" is effectively meaningless.
But I was thinking about "Alma" recently. I think it's because Ethan was in Vienna.
Back in 2008, when Sharon was 5 years old, I was sitting in the car with her. I was waiting for the appointed hour when the parking regs changed and I could leave the car. Sharon was in the back seat. I had a Tom Lehrer disc on.
The opening line came on. "The loveliest girl in Vienna"
Immediately, I heard Sharon interject: "Is me!"
