My Husband met Mr. Borge at a music store named Grinnels in livonia Michigan , He was there to release a new Steinway line , Victor was a spokesman an would meet the people , Although my husband plays guitar this was an is a very important moment for my husband his first guitar . Back in the 70,s signed by Victor Borge signed by Mr Borge
Actually this was 1980 or 1981 as I am playing violin in the Wren Orchestra and I stopped playing in mid 1981. Victor Borgs was quite the worst and most difficult conductor to follow, and not a very nice person in rehearsals. He was not well liked by the band. However it all changed for the concert and was chaotically funny.
When I was a kid, I passed up an opportunity to hear him live in my hometown, Manchester NH. I allowed a high school teacher to pressure me into attending a school activity that evening. I've regretted it ever since. I'd now have the memory of the concert, and the teacher's disapproval would mean absolutely nothing. In fact, the teacher's disapproval DOES mean absolutely nothing...
@EmdrGreg I guess you will never forgive that idiot HIgh School teacher who pressured you inot not seeing Mr Borge. Indeed I was very fortunate enough to see Him at the Royal Albert Hall in England , in South Africa in 1968 and here in Australia five months before he sadly passed away. I have a great collection of his old vinyl LPs . CDs, and videos.

traditionally Orchestra conductors arent going to be the nicest people during rehearsals and its nothing personal.
