Re: odd humming noise

[lstanwyk <lstanwyk@RYERSON.CA>]

I remember as well the first time I heard the Glenn hum - it was
Goldberg (what else!).  I know this sounds like absolute corn, but I
cried because I thought it, along with Glenn's playing, was so
beautiful.  I studied piano for years, was so obsessed that I pursued a
post-graduate in the art, and have always looked at my dedication to
this art the same way a nun marries Jesus - not literally, mind you -
but in a spiritual, devotional kind of way.  When I heard Glenn for this
first time it sounded almost as if something else was at work there -
like some higher power was speaking through him - God, or whatever one's
interpretation of 'God' is.  Just sharing!

Cheers!
