"The Vatican Rag", "Werner von Braun", "New Math" and "The Elements" were just a few of his smart, sometimes wicked contributions to the 1950s coffeehouse scene of Dave Brubeck, Mort Sahl, Mike Nichols and Elaine May. Written by Hoyt Hilsman. Performed a bit by Lance Davis. Sound by Dave Bennett. Give a listen!
