Victor Borge

"I know that when Victor Borge performed in August of 1965, it was pouring down rain and there were a few holes in the music tent. Several people had to get up and change seats to avoid a soaking. Mr. Borge came out with a tattered umbrella and proceeded to ad lib hilariously for 30 minutes on the rain situation. I know because I was there (but I stayed put and stayed dry)."

The First Annual Rock 'n' Roll World Championships, in 1965, had over 300 bands vying for top honors with judges Phil Spector and Cousin Brucie Morrow. "The Galaxies IV" from Trenton, NJ won the title. Sometimes this event was referred to as "The Rock 'n' Roll Olympics."
