TRACK TWO: a 46-second clip (from https://youtu.be/5gtboVCoYpQ?list=PLdfaHtJTO4LJEb4SSXUOS7KlKBEMcIgiH&t=7) where I sang a “slice” of “American Pi” to close out a live news program on El Paso’s NBC affiliate station on this year’s Pi Day (this is a convenient time to note that the full song won MoMath’s Pi Day of the Century song contest and can be heard (4 min.) at https://momath.org/contests/americanpi/)
- TRACK THREE: 2:13 audio/video recording from the 2013 USCOTS conference banquet is “Statistician’s BLUEs”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PY0KKtBQ-8&list=PLdfaHtJTO4LJX7U5szEmsSf1viVlxma93&index=6

- TRACK FIVE: “Solution” (my 3:22 parody of the Beatles’ classic “Revolution”, dynamically sung by students at my university, whose Music Dept. has a wonderful Commercial Music Program): https://larrylesser.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/SOLUTION.mp4 (I actually have a whole article about the creation and use of this song that appeared last year in the journal PRIMUS: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/10511970.2024.2332674 which includes a 2-minute “video abstract”)
- TRACK SIX: go to https://youtu.be/ZTATVQR4TIU?t=3030 from my January 2025 MoMath Math Encounters talk and play, say, the 84 seconds from 50:31-51:55 to show me setting up and then singing my “Birthday Song” as part of the talk about the Birthday Problem
