Always willing to talk Bach #

In writing about Glenn Gould, Lloyd wrote: "I'm sure my Canadian, Bach-loving friend Raymond also has a lot to say about this particular domain. So Raymond, how about some Bach-talk, eh? If you can lay aside your alphabet soup of technologies for a little bit, that is. ::chuckle::"

I'm always glad to oblige a request to talk Bach. Glenn Gould was a big influence on my own musical imagination during my teen years. I'd often listen to his Goldberg Variations (on LP) while washing the dishes. (Is that sacrilege?) Gould was a novelty and a scandal to me as a Canadian, tired of being thought as just nice people. Here was one really eccentric Canuck (weird?) who revolutionized how Bach was being performed -- amazing and incredible and a whole lot of fun, eh?

Funny that you should mention Gould. I rented Thirty-two Short Films about Glenn Gould. I still have the DVD out from Reel and will be watching it again before returning it.
