Gee, and I thought I was behaving myself reasonably well, and suddenly
two Unsubscribe requests. My sincere apologies if this thread pushed
anyone's buttons. 

But there also seem to be several GG worshippers who took the time to
express their pleasure in reading about the years when GG found love
with a remarkably interesting, talented, artistic woman.

Never mind my corny old jokes. This list puts every aspect of GG under a
constant high-magnification microscope. I found it absolutely charming
to hear his lover Cornelia Foss remember with great fondness his sense
of humor -- an aspect he did not overdisplay to the public. From The
Star
interview:

***
She also fell for his sense of humour. One day he rolled on the floor
laughing because the University of Toronto had started a course: "The
Mind of Glenn Gould." "`Imagine how ridiculous!' he said. He wanted to
go to a class, disguised in a wig, but he never did."
***

Love, fun, joy, romance, even corny jokes and pranks -- you can't strip
great musicians of these things, except arbitrarily and synthetically,
and if you do, how does it add to our respect for and honor of them?
What should we all agree to properly restrict our discussions to? Just
the way he moved his fingers on a keyboard? How very inhuman and
bloodless. This wonderful music was not made by an inhuman and bloodless
man, just by a very private man. We've been gifted not with an invasion
of his chosen privacy, but with a loving memoir of someone who shared
love with him.
