Hey F Minors,
I just met someone who knew Glenn Gould!
I am hoping that someone on the list can do better and
tell us he/she actually met GG.
One of my husband's customers is a jazz musician.
Ken told him I liked jazz so he gave him a CD for me. He came to the shop
today and I got him to autograph this and the other CDs I bought.
Back to the GG stuff. Turns out my jazz man recorded
at the same CBC studio as Glenn Gould. GG had the studio booked from
midnight to 5 A.M. for a three week period.
I was told that when Mr. Gould entered the building the
jazz people were politely told their time was over. As they were leaving
the studio GG would ask them about their recording session. Hands were not
extended of course, merely a polite bow of the head.
"He was treated with kid gloves. CBC would do
anything for him." I could hardly keep from laughing when Rob said
something like "As soon as they knew he was coming they turned up the
heat!?!"
