> I just heard on the news that Victor Borge died in his sleep last night. He was past 90. I usually don't get upset when someone of that vintage dies, but Borge was one-of-a-kind. I mean literally that there was nobody like him. He was an outstanding musician, but he always played it for laughs. (Pun intended.) ABC News ran that famous clip of him playing his music upside down. His humor never wore thin. If you see it a thousand times, you get a thousand laughs. He was known as the "Great Dane." Yes, he was from Denmark. Yes, he was Great.

I couldn't agree with you more... I really wish now that my life would have given me a chance to see him live at some point... At least I still have the video I was given several years back to give me the warm memories...
