To Gilles and Tim at the NLC, and all the usual Minors...
    I love the new list resources, it's great to finally have the
definitive index of radio broadcasts and films especially. (I can't wait
for the audio and video!) I do have one or two questions for you, based
upon the information contained in the lists.

1) What were the "revisions" made to _The Idea Of North_ between the Dec.
28 1967 and Mar. 26 1968 CBC broadcasts of the work?

2) Which version of Idea Of North was released to the public as part of the
Perspectives series?

3) Is there a transcript of the commentary added by GG for the Sep. 16 1969
broadcast of I. of N.?

4) Whatever became of the Daniel Uriot manuscript, _Allemande_?

Also, and this is a bit unrelated, I have two other questions.

1) Tim, one thing I would like to know about Glenn the conductor; besides
having been amazingly supportive and responsive to the musicians, did he
*smile* as he conducted? At least on the bright passages?

2) Has anyone pinned down exactly which BBC television interview was the
"distasteful" one cited by J. Roberts in the _Selected Letters_ collection
as having motivated GG to begin scripting his interviews? Surely not one of
Humphrey Burton's delightful programmes...
Just wondering.

Tschues!
Kristen
