Rights to his music

Again, read the LA Times obituary if you can get it.

Classy man, here is where his music is now:

In 2020, Lehrer announced through his website that he was making all of the lyrics he wrote available to download for free without further permission, whether or not they were published or retained a copyright.

Two years later he went further in relinquishing his rights, saying: “In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs. So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money.”

Here’s the link. There are a few video and audio recordings in addition to lyrics and sheet music. Be aware, that you may acquire the same obsession I’ve had for 60+ years.
