Borge - Live in Boston in 1953

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Boston. I have a request tonight Usually I don't do request numbers On this of course I have been asked to do so This is a request from a lady. I Sincerely hope She's an elderly lady She's an old lady matters were facing It's a matter of fact. She's dead now, but it's from her son

He and I grew up together. We haven't seen each other for approximately seven years. Neither have I. But he asked me if I would do a routine I used to do when we were little boys and girls.

A little, uh, we didn't know the difference anyhow because it was very small. As a matter of fact, he still doesn't. Well, he asked me if I would do that routine. So will your permission or maybe entirely without it?

I am going to do that routine right now. Unfortunately, he called up and said that he couldn't be here tonight for this concept, so now I actually don't have to do that routine, which of course takes care of that.

So now I'm going to do something else. By the way, we are going to have an intermission pretty soon. Don't you like intermissions? Oh, I love them, smoke, cigarette, walk around in the lobby, meet friends and so on and so on.

We're going to have an intermission of about an hour and a half tonight, so that we really can get acquainted. So for my fourth and last number, I'm going to play excerpts from Rachmaninov's second piano concerto, Number two, that is, by a rachmanin of of course, who also wrote the music for this.
