Music Review: Victor Borge

Music Review: Victor Borge

I would love for one thing to come back into the popular culture scene: musical comedy. I don’t mean musicals that are funny. I am talking about classic performers and true entertainers. Remember the celebrities who could act, sing, dance, and be funny? Thanks to a great background shaped by my grandmother, I grew up enjoying a concert pianist named Victor Borge. He could play a mean Libestraum while making a great joke – and all while dressed in coat tails. A gold mine of old-school performers can still be enjoyed between box sets, streaming services, and good old YouTube. With a generation of online influencers, many of those in the spotlight are known for one talent or one subsection of the entire industry. But what’s not to love about getting a little bit of everything out of one guy?

One of my most favorite stories Paul told dated back to the late 60s or early 70s and it revolved around him killing a deer way out in the mountains. Naturally the deer ran down into a deep canyon and died. Knowing that it would take him forever to haul it out he devised an awesome plan. After preparing the deer he drove back to NAS Fallon and rustled up a SAR crew and they flew out and picked up the deer. Of course it was labeled as a training flight but what the hell in those days you could do that sort of thing. Rest in Peace my friend until we meet again!!Comment publication date: 4/11/24, 1:15 PMComment source: Obituary - LCDR Paul N PflimlinComment author: THughesComment text: So sad to hear.

I remember her fondly from the days of my youth at Northside Elementary, many years ago. She and Mrs. Rowe were my favorite office ladies! I am so sorry to hear of her passing.
