Re: [F_MINOR] OT: Speaking of Facade...



Hi Anne,

    Does anyone know which poem Glenn Gould recited from "Facade"? And which
    bit/performance/skit was it from? And could anyone understand his Scottish
    accent?!

Coincidentally enough, the latest issue of GlennGould just came out, and
talks about this -- including an amusing note that they could not make
out the first stanza of Facade in GG's rather overwhelming accent until
they got hold of the script :).  When I've watched the video, not too
many of the words come through for me either ...

If you don't belong to the Friends Society (glenngould.ca), could be
worth joining.  If not, I can look up the specific info about the Facade
skit a little later ...

Best,
Karl
