[F_minor] Re: something interesting, and a question
It'll be really interesting if it was a different
Glenn Gould - AND he was also a pianist!

Alot of artists were moving in and out of
studio's at the time, so I doubt it would make a difference.
But more than that is the fact that my father
claims him and Glenn Gould met only during the day time.
It is really confusing me now.
Perhas it was a different Glenn Gould?
And I believe the diner is still there.

Are/were any biographers aware of their
relationship? It sounds as if he might have major anecdotes to contribute!

A strange thing happened to me the other day,
in that I discovered something interesting. I
mentioned Glenn Gould in front of my father,
and he said that back in the seventies, he had
known Glenn GOuld quite well. My father is an
artist, and claimed that his studio was very
close to Glenn Gould's and they would meet
often. This went on for about seven years,
from 1970 to 1977. Something else is that my
father says that every artist who had a studio
in the area went to that diner (whose name I
have forgotten), and each had their own
particular booth that they occupied every time
they ate there. Even more; my father actually
heard the Toccata and Fugue in D minor (not
Dorian) being played by Glenn Gould on an
organ, as well as many other pieces of music.
Now to the qustion. Whatever I have read about
Glenn Gould claims that towards the end of his
life, he became recluse and stopped meeting
people, limiting their conversations to
telephones. Well, wasn't 1977 pretty close to
his death, and that year my father claims he
met him at least 20 times. I do not understand.
