Obviously not a song I sing to my kids, but one I'll often play as they're drifting off to sleep. It has become one of my favorite pieces, and I think this performance nails it (minus the coughing audience members). Right about 2 minutes in, when it almost seems like the song could be winding up, but then it shifts into an other-world quality... perfectly dream-like. I haven't stopped being wowed by that, despite hearing the song probably a hundred times.

Borge is probably better known for his humor, but much of his humor was dependent on being the excellent musician that he was. Thanks for sharing this one.
My dad always commented that Jack Benny had to be a pretty accomplished violinist to fein playing it so poorly.
I'll confess to knowing the name, but not much about the guy. I honestly picked this one because the sound quality was significantly higher than most of the other live performance I found in my quick search.
Go to youtube and search for him. You won't be disappointed.
This was fantastic, so I followed padre's advice and checked out some of his other stuff. Yeah, I'm convinced.
You probably saw one of his most famous skits: the Phonetic Punctuation
That was certainly one of them.
Oh, I believe I saw this when I was a kid and had forgotten about it. Woah, memories.
I kept flashing back to commercials I'd seen on TV back in the day. I'm pretty sure I watched one of those half hour Time Life-like infomercials for one of his albums when I was 7 or 8.
