<DIV><FONT size=4>G’day all</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Mary has a brilliant idea with the webcast or podcast. And
maybe Bobby McFerrin and Uri Caine could to the Evans thing (since both know
quite a lot about classical music and Jazz)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Please keep the ideas flowing, no matter how weird or silly or
brilliant. This is a unique chance and opportinity for us as f_minor to
contribute something to an extrodrinary event. Mr Pritchard was kind enough to
ask the fan community and we should take advantage of this opportunity. Don’t
leave these events to the Talking Heads and self-proclaimed experts who will
tell you what you will have to see and like. It’s always good to ask vox populi
about their ideas and opinions. I would like to thank Mr Prichard for giving
“us” this opportunity to contribute brainstormed ideas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>You can pay tribute to Glenn Gould, give back something to the
greater public, and who knows, maybe your idea will hit the stage ? so do get on
with it, it is fun to see what is coming up here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I would like to contribute another foggy idea that I had while
having a smoke outside.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>What about a sort of IoN by us ? Take 5 actors, give them
statements to read from us written for the Stratford Festival event ? Since IoN
is a Spoken Word Opera (the docudrama idea was only an excuse by GG, who in this
case succeeded as a composer) this could work quite well. At least so I reckon.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>You would need, say, a Dreamer (in Ion her qeuivalent is Nurse
Schroeder), a Cynic, a Realist and so on. The Opening Trio could i.e. sound like
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Voice 1: Looking back on it this was an opportunity you only
get onec in life. In 1961 when I was around 20 I saw Glenn Gould performing at a
small college town in....(new voice fades in)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Voice 2: When I was about 8 or 9 years my father used to
play a lot of classical music. One day he put on this Mozart
Sonata....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Voice 3: Well, you know when I was about 14 my piano
teacher mentioned Glenn Goulds’recording of The WTC....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>and so on. Of course you would need someone to batch this
cut-up together (which might also work for a pure radio performance). I think it
is important to show how GG influenced people from around the world with various
backgrounds and the effect he had on other people’s lives and how his art was
recieved at the other end of the line (from performer to listener).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I know this is a bit of a Troll Idea, but I urge you to come
up with something better if you feel like it. Don’t just consume, contribute,
create, share ideas and enjoy !</FONT></DIV>

consented to be a juror for the next GG Prize perhaps he'd also consent to a

Sir Stephen would do it an exquisite justice and don't forget to throw in a

<H5><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=black>"Glenn Gould also owned a copy of the

once, but twice - to create an amazing and confusing stereophonic contrapuntal

won't say no.<BR><BR>Whatever you do, Peter Taussig MUST be given as much
involvement as he can support. Mr. Taussig came through on Gouldian matters when
