I started subscribing to this mailing list a few
years back because as a young Glenn Gould fan
with an amateur music background and no real
friends who have the same passion for Gould or
even classical music in general, I wanted to be
part of a group who could at least in writing
pass on some knowledge and insight on the life
and work of this fascinating man. I don't
really know any of you who are the main
participants on this forum, but it seems that
you may possibly have a few years on me just in
the manner you articulate your ideas. I often
feel I would like to contribute my opinion on
some of these threads, but worry my response
would appear naïve or unintelligent. My real
concern I think at this point is, as one of
Glenn Gould's biggest fans in the under-thirty
age group, is if I, as well as the seemingly
anonymous crowd of youngsters who also have a
passion for Gould, don't make an effort to
demand to be mentored by those who have perhaps
had ties and first hand experience with him,
fifty years from now the musical styling of this
20th century artist could fall out of the radar
of even the minority of the public. My question
is, what steps do I take in order to help carry
on the legacy of my ever-favorite hero?
