I had the privilege of meeting him during the 90s, in the US. I was working at the theatre he was headlining. Funny beyond belief, he had them crying, mostly young university students, and they cheered him for three encores. Then we, the crew, had pizza and he sat and told us jokes for another hour. What a man.

Courios eyes like those of a child, but with a twinkle that says "Funny, eh? Got'cha there!". We don't even have to mention his musical talent. He didn't even WANT to be funny. He just found out that he was and he went out there to let us enjoy this with him.

dang khoa i’m going to explain the shop to you but I need you to unclear you mind of other things. The reason why it’s funny it’s because well explaining that the two people are hidden behind the trees he says that the chorus starts playing, he says that nobody knows why signifying that and not the musicians not the composer not even the actors, this is because Mozart was the only one that knew why and that very moment the chorus was playing but for the people remaking the scene, they were just doing what was on the script. So when he says that Mozart is the only one that knows what was going on but he’s dead it’s just a matter of fact joke and there is no punchline, it’s just unexpected

I know the Mozart and opera routines, I’ve seen him live in Boston and Washington, and yet I never tire of this magnificent Dane, a refugee from Hitler-occupied Europe, with the perennial twinkle in his eye. He was a concert level pianist, but we only get to hear tiny bits of his virtuosity. The pity always is that he didn’t play more… but had he done so we would have been deprived of these classic and delightful skits. What a gift he was to America and the world.

Growing up my father was a great fan of Victor Borge. I was living with my wife in Connecticut and invited my father and his girlfriend up from NYC. They were both in there late 60's. We purchased tickets, killing our budjet, for my fathers birthday to see Victor's performance at the then New Fairfield Playhouse. Halfway thru the performance they were both asleep snoring. We were mortified and worried he would see them and make them part of his show. In retrospect I wish he had!

What can one say about Victor Borge that hasn't already been said. Over many, many years I've kept my collection of Victor Borge recordings, VHS tapes, now CDs etc. Mr Borge has always been there for me whenever I feel down or a little blue... he always reminds me that this is what real entertainment is all about; well-practiced but always seeming fresh and immediate. Never a swear word or risqué dialogue; just pure talent for comedy, talent in timing and scripting. Above all of that Mr Borge was a true musical genius. He could make one cry with laughter or induce the most sentimental of tears when he occasionally, played some of his 'serious' material. Thanks to uploads from people like you, Mr Borge will be around for countless generations and be enjoyed and admired for a lifetime of making people laugh and be happy. Thank you. BH
