[Dixielandjazz] Satire in song - Tom Lehrer

[David Richoux]

Bob, the way Jerry wrote that sentence is a bit confusing, but the  
facts are right (and in agreement with you.)

I would fix it this way: "Don't forget the wonderful Allen Sherman,  
but It's more parody than satire. Lots of his stuff on YouTube."
