Richard Thompson, Eliza Gilkyson
Dowe's on 9th, Pittsburgh, PA.....
Richard Thompson played a number of new (or, at least, previously unreleased), rather droll songs, including "The Hots for the Smarts" (a title which has internal rhyme if you're British):

"I need a girl with a feel for Faraday's wheelAnother one along these lines is "Alexander Graham Bell":
A girl who'll drool for Fleming's Left Hand Rule
Now you may like pin-ups of girls who do chin-ups
Like Xena the Warrior Princess but I'll take to dinner
My Nobel Prize winner with plutonium stains down her dress"
"Television was a thingYou've gotta love a song that disses Edison and Tesla:
That he had all prepared
But he left that to his pupil
John Logie Baird
Of course there was the telephone
He’d be famous for that alone
But there’s 50 other things as well
From Alexander Graham Bell"
"Edison, he was a thief
And Tesla nuts beyond belief"
