Extractions: "The high point of the concert was Kevin Puts's Canyon. It's full of bouncy, angular Steve Reich Riffs, ostinatos that Stephen Sondheim might recognize as his own, and attractive, yet unexpected harmonic twists and turns. Puts possesses a superb ear, an invigorating mind, and is certainly a young composer to watch."

Extractions: Colleagues referred to him as "Mr. Abbott" – a sign of respect that this talented man never discouraged. Originally a Harvard-trained actor, he rose to fame as a playwright, eventually becoming a stage director and musical comedy librettist. In the course of over 130 Broadway productions, Abbott worked with most of the prominent stage talents of his time. His musical comedy career began when he co-directed Richard Rodgers Lorenz Hart 's Jumbo (1935). He worked with the same team on a series of hit shows, staging and co-authoring the librettos for On Your Toes The Boys From Syracuse (1938) and Pal Joey (1940). Abbott gave musical comedy a faster pace and a refreshing dose of modern sophistication.

Victor Borge 23, 2000) Victor Borge said, to people who take music seriously, I ma musician . A lot of his humor is based upon his amazing skill as a pianist. http://www.charliethejugglingclown.com/victor_borge.htm
Extractions: Victor Borge by: Bruce Johnson Victor Borge passed away December 23. If he was a clown or not depends upon whether you use an exclusive or inclusive style definition of clowning. It is a matter of personal opinion. I personally think he was a masterful clown who used a naturalistic appearance. In any case, clowns could learn a lot by studying his work, which fortunately is well documented by audio and video recordings. I had the pleasure of seeing to of his live performances. At the age of 91, he was still performing. The only adjustment he had to make for age was eliminating the fall off his piano bench. He was the subject of the cover story of The Clown In Times Volume Six Issue Three. Here is some information excerpted from that article. (The original article is much too long to reproduce here.) Victor Borge (Jan. 3, 1909 - Dec. 23, 2000) Victor Borge said, "to people who take music seriously, I'm a musician. To people who don't take music seriously, I'm a comedian. To people who don't take anything seriously, I'm a clown." Whether or not you consider Victor Borge a clown, clowns can learn from him and be inspired by him. For example, one of his routines is to start playing a piece, which doesn't come out right. He takes a closer look at the sheet music, turns it over, resumes playing, and now it sounds right. Arthur Pedlar uses a similar bit in his routine. One of Victor's sons tours with him playing an inept page-turner. Albert Alter plays a similar role in the BozoArts Duo. Victor combines physical comedy, verbal humor, and amazing musical ability.
