That chair, the chairs...

I think his father made him another one which GG either did or did not use...remember in the "outtakes" from "Genius Within" Lorne Tulk speaks of GG having presenting him the 'other' chair as a gift which Tulk gave back to GG during some argument they had. I seem to remember reading that Walter Homburger GG's manager had a more lightweight aluminum (?) chair made for GG which didn't work out.

Speaking of chairs, is it true or false that his dad made more than one ? I 
seem to have read that somewhere...there seems to be a lot of urban myth and 
hagiography around that chair....

"and did you notice that he put something on the chair?  
I'd never seen that before."

Haha Fred, that's the stuffing of the chair 
tumbling out and when all that stuffing was finally gone GG sat on just the 
T-bar of the chair... not so great for his coccyx.

Sounds like it was done in mono.  Too bad we can't hear this 
done by him in stereo, or did he do one in that form?  The technique is of 
course amazing.  I like the way his body swirled around in circles and did 
you notice that he put something on the chair?  I'd never seen that 
before.

sixths in the variations,  wow !!  sure wish someone could find that 
performance somewhere on the net so everyone could give it a listen.  i 
simply have no idea how to do it.
