 When did you first hear *of* (or read about) Glenn Gould?
 If it wasn't the same time you heard Glenn Gould, when did you first hear

My brother-in-law bought me his 2nd Goldberg Variations recording in 1987.  
My first reaction was that it didn't sound correct and was different then any 
other recording.  But of course the virus was implanted.  I couldn't stop 
listening to it.  I kept playing it over and over, trying to understand how 
Glenn had messed up the recording.  But instead, I fell in love with his 
interpretations.
