HaHaHa way too funny.  Knowing Glenn's funk is still alive and well and
stored at the NLC is oddly reassuring. Wonder where they keep stinky hat
and scarf? on the shelf next to the PhD theses?
I used to collect GG vids - taped just about every t.v. program that has
been aired about GG for the last 20 yrs., e.g., segments where Yehudi
Menuhin is the interviewee, both arguing on the old 'recording versus
live' debate.  I wonder, if Glenn was still alive, what he'd think of pc
games, and the general mind-blowing advancement of AI technology in
entertainment.  My prediction is that pc games will replace t.v. as the
main source of entertainment in most households.  Why watch the movie
when you can star in it, as well as control the story, in a pc game?
