Do you remember him? Oh, he was terrific and he was funny. My brother and I and our parents watched him on television every chance we got. We loved him.
Friends of mine recently mentioned him in an email they sent to me. I think the impetus for the mention was that Victor Borge was Danish (just like my re-woven chairs were).
So of course, I then researched Victor Borge online and found lots of videos of him and his performances. I’m going to share just one of them here with you. This particular video (below) is quite an irreverent take on a serious opera. I watched this video sitting at home alone and laughed out loud many times … a good sign. 🙂
Although he makes great fun of all things musical, he’s an absolutely wonderful professional pianist and musician in his own right, and maybe that’s why he can get away with the jokes and still everyone loves him.
It’s a short ten-minute video. I hope you enjoy it even half as much as I do. Turn your sound up.
Next blog post here will be a real camping trip with my truck and trailer to Ridgefield, WA. Get ready!
