I'm Channeling Glenn Gould

Today I was in the library looking for books about female jazz pianists, and who should I find staring at me out of the stacks but Glenn Gould himself! There is a coffee-table-style book called "Glenn Gould: A Life in Pictures" put out by Doubleday Canada. And GUESS WHAT??? It has endpapers with copies of his scores, and he has written ALL OVER THEM!!! I love you, Glenn Gould. I wish you had a happier more well-adjusted psyche, but I'm very grateful for the legacy you left to us listeners. Of course, Scott is the perfect man for me, and I'm the luckiest girl in the whole wide world to be his wife, but I wish I could have had a couple of dates with Glenn, back in the day, when he played in Russia.

My Boy Glenn

I have just discovered Glenn Gould. My goodness, could that man play the piano! And, a looker to boot. Here's a link to a blog entry about him, with a video clip that I've yet to watch, but plan to make time to youtube on my big screen this week.
