What better time than a Saturday evening to enjoy a light-hearted musical history lesson? And who better to deliver it than Victor Borge?

I didn't know that, EJ.   Fascinating.   Thanks for forwarding that link too.   I know what I'll be watching tomorrow.

Along with the great Groucho, one of the masters of comedic timing.

The magic of music and comedy, which relies so much on timing and spontaneity, is amazing. Listening to beautiful music or a good joke refreshes the heart.  It is good medicine. Also seeing musical madcap mayhem makes me misty mit(with) mirth.:)

Thanks Dave and EJ for the videos.

Borges was a treasure. Who might be the modern equivalent?
