Weekend Update and What I Did On Glenn Gould’s Birthday
Email This Article
Well, it’s been a quiet weekend, even though I did go over to Boobsie’s house to watch East of Eden and make plans for our visit to Cambridge Massachussett on the 29th of September. We can only stay one night, because there is a punk rock festival back home on Saturday, and Boobsie’s band is playing their final farewell gig.
In other news, it is Glenn Gould’s 73rd birthday today, so in between chapters of The Glenn Gould Reader, listening to the Well-Tempered Klavier Book II, and playing an obscure Bach piece on the piano, I thought I’d knock out a quick article and a short bio on Glenn’s life and career, for my gentle readers. It’s all written from memory, so have a quick glance at it if you are so inclined!
