<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri>I had this idea about a radio programme about GG
trolling around in my head for quite a while. Time for an exposé, first draft.
If you have any additionla ideas, suggestions, input, criticism etc. or would
like to contribute let me know. Maybe I'll hit the jackpot and someone from a
radio station might, erm, show interest in this idea, who knows ?</FONT></DIV>

Tribute to GG's Idea of North. The sound of the car engine would substitute as

viewpoint of "fans" or people who have been greatly affected by his
music.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri>Details</FONT> <FONT size=7 face=Calibri>:
In 1967 GG created a redio documentary called The Idea of North, based on the
experiences of several individuals in the Canadian North. These individuals can
be categorized as a rationalist, a dreamer, reluctant scientist etc.
These individuals never met, but their ideas and opinions were interwoven
into imaginary conversations by GG, I even dare say manipulated. One
can make the argument that this docudrama was as much about him as the North
which opens new perspectives to and about GG</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri>The main idea beind Probing GG would be to take
this concept and let 5 or 6 peple from around the world who never met "talk"
about GG, make a point, possibly have an argument and give the listener an idea
what made GG "tick" or what this man and his music were all about.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri>Contributors: 5 or 6 individuals from various
ways of life with various backgrounds that possibly (but not required) fit the
categories (idealist, denier, rationalist etc). Each interview would be
conducted seperately via Skype or VoiP, the contrubutors would be given the same
questions, the result will then be edited by yours truly <IMG

<DIV><FONT size=7 face=Calibri>If I can pull tthis one off for GG's 80th in
2012, then I reckon that would be a great gift for his admirers. This one would
be on US ! It would be a nice way of saying Thank You and give something
back for all the hours of joy we got from him as a musician, lecturer, thinker
and radio documentary producer.</FONT></DIV>
