GG: Anagrams

Please share your thoughts about this (koff, koff)
controversial book. I think it gives great insight into
GG and his recording technique. And insight into Andrew
Kazdin as well. To a point, I understand his feelings,
_but_... it sure gets persnickety. (OK, so GG said "fillum"! What were you going to do, turn him into the
Word Police?) What did you think about the infamous part
about the Christmas presents?

Do you have the Selected Letters book? GG sometimes signed
his humorous letters with various pseudonyms. If he was
being funny, he sometimes signed his full name (Glenn
Herbert Gould), which he never otherwise did. I guess
that was a pre-Internet version of a "smiley." ;->

I'm afraid I can't do anagrams. I'm terrible at those.

Sigh. If only Bill Evans were still with us... From what
I've read, he did anagrams during breaks in the recording
studio. Many of his song titles are anagrams. ("NYC's No
Lark" is an anagram for Sonny Clark, for example. There is
a deeper meaning because Sonny Clark was a fellow jazz
musician who lived in NYC and died because of heroin.)
