show for the camera IMHO.

I liked Agerich’s recording best…

Great fun.

My favorite Gould are his commercials for CBC, particulary the one where he is a serial composer, and then the one where he parodies Marlon Brando. I am fortunate to possess them on laser.

Roger, if you are very very good I will try to copy them (at great personal risk of prosecution to the fullest extent of the law) to DVD, and bestow upon you.
