There are plenty of "Gould" recordings on youtube which have nothing at all to do with Gould and just to give you a head's up, we here at FMinor have seen just about all of that shite so go peddle your pots and and on sone other Gould site.<br> <br>What we true Gouldians would appreciate is a chance to hear the true, the real GG recordings we haven't yet heard.

GG was a complicated man, as most of the best women and men in science and arts always have been. That doesn't mean they were 'saints' - rather the opposite really and it must have always been extraordinarily difficult for such gifted artists to support the buffers/pillars of Court and Church neither of which were all that respected by the hard labouring populous and just a simple reason to wash your hair on a Saturday night. I was raised a Lutheran in the USA. Jensen. The only thing I could abide in church on Sunday were Bach's hymns. Later on I had a Catholic friend and realized how much worse was the dearth she was going through - but she was obliged and ended up having had a certain need and blind acceptance of the mindless masochism of the Roman Catholic system. She accepted it as her duty, practically like a point of honour to be so degraded. She became a divorced alcoholic (with children), now in AA. She can't recite a single prayer in Latin, there were no songs for her to sing from her heart during any church festival.She had to wear a cover over her head in Cathedral.
