In the Lap of Greatness




One of my Heroes... Glenn Gould sits very (very) quietly in front of the CBC studios on Front St. in Toronto with his trademark gloves and hat and scarf. One of Canada's true, fabulous, brilliant eccentrics. I'd put a link to his foundation's site... but it is so, so dull and he was so wacky and wild and always fascinating....so here's a youtube link to a very young Glenn at the piano... and if you want to hear about his life long obsession with Petula Clark, then click here

Hey Brem

I had a great visit of your blog today, nice to see snapshots from Toronto life, but also your tour & even boat vid with Lisa, too. This particular post was also fun, with a wacky Glen Gould, his fingers like the legs of that Louise Bourgeoise spider from your other post, flying over the keyboard. It is so fun to see what you are up to, and all the SNOW! Here in paris, rain, grey, but not so cold... we miss you guys! --Jen
