Tom Trimborn of Middleton, Wisconsin, spent 45 years as a music educator at the high school and later at the college level. His experience in teaching music courses about classical, film, and Broadway musicals, plus his strong interest in Abraham Lincoln has led him to develop several programs related to each area and are appropriate for general audiences. All programs include visual and audio clips, plus some show and tell items on hand to see in person.
