Hello Pat,<br>
<br>
I guess hero worship is often a part when great musicians are
portrayed. It's also important to remember that Gould scripted most
of his TV-appearances, and this is true as far as the two Monsaigeon
programs are concerned. I've never been bothered by that. The idea
of the "truth" in documentaris can always be questioned: it is
always a point of view that is, and must be, presented.<br>
<br>
As far as the "Chemins de la Musique" is concerned I don't think
Monsaingeon is inordinately trying to please Gould, and the scripted
dialogue does strike me as revealing and to the point. In the Bach
series, the discussions between the two are really secondary to the
amazing playing. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Jorgen<br>

<font size="4">Mary and Jörgen, I must see if my VHS copies
of this material are still alive and playable. Don’t get
me wrong here but when I saw them first ages ago I had the
impression that Montsagenon was kissing up a bit and
trying too hard to please. There was a bit too much slime.
But I like to be corrected, time to get up to the attic so
see where that VCR is...</font></div>
<div><font size="4">Yet Herafter got stuck in my throat
indeed. So many missed opportinities in that one...</font></div>

<div><font size="4">Let me quickly explain what I meant. Back
when Genius Within was available on the PBS website the
following brief dialogue took place on my PC. It lasted
microseconds but you will get the idea.</font></div>
<div><font size="4">My PC: Hi, I am IP 192.168.1.1 . Can I
come in ?</font></div>
<div><font size="4">PBS Server: Hi, I am IP 149.48.228.139.
You may enter, but you are not allowed to watch that GG
movie.</font></div>
<div><font size="4">My PC: Why not ?</font></div>
<div><font size="4">PBS Server: Because the suffix 192 tells
me that you are not a US IP and I have been clearly
instructed only to allow local IPs in for this specific
content. Otherwise feel free to look around, but not this
one.</font></div>
<div><font size="4">My PC: Well, then...</font></div>
<div><font size="4">Yet by switching my IP I could have fooled
that server into thinking otherwise. This practice is
legal, otherwise those nice people at Google or
advertising companies would be out of business soon..</font>
<font size="4">OT out</font></div>
