Thomas,
thanks for these  interesting anecdotes.
Certainly many of us would like meet Glenn Gould.
Your parents really met Him "off record" as a moving experience and Their
memory is precious.
What You have told us permit to imagine a  meeting with our favourite
pianist and this is marvelous.
Thanks for this beautiful message
Welcome in the list and see you soon for another news
