Ranier Hersch as GG?



Hi friends,
Am I the last F_Minorian to find this?:

http://www.comedybreak.com/audio/wk4rh1.ram

It is the website of the "Comedy On the Web" page, and it features a
soundbite of Ranier Hersch, a London-based comedian who claims to be the
world's only living Glenn Gould impersonator. The soundbite is not a sample
of his GG mimicry, unfortunately, but I was wondering if anyone had ever
heard him do it. Is he any good?

the shutters. I could have spared myself the work of cutting down the ash,
he said... We often cut down such an ash, a whole forest of such mental
ashes, he said, and we could have spared ourselves the work with a simple
sleight of hand..."
