It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
It is Victoria Day in Canada today, so I figured I should post something in the spirit of it. Check out this brilliant, and very strange, outtake from Gould's recording of the uber-famous Goldberg Variations.
P.S. If you don't know a Quodlibet is a contrapuntal combination of two distinct melodies, which in this case is the God Save the King and the Star Spangled Banner.
I really really am sad that one of the brothers Glibb has died. i am so sad I have wept real tears made of blood from my ears and eyes and anoos.
Obviously the reasoning behind this latest and apparently retarded bout of sadness is due to selfish self interest by yours truly and not motivated by any real sense of loss for another human soul that has recently exited this mortal coil.
I say self interest., yes I am sad that we will obviusly be hearing nothing but glibb brother grim in the near future on the radio, telly, and they will probably make a sqeaky dog toy no doubt in the shape of a man with very small testies, vis a vis one robbing glibb brother.
The money raised will go towards the upkeep of robbing glibbs eternal falsetto vocal chords that have allready been torn out by scientists and encapsulated in resin as a future warning to sperm doners not to attempt heeby geeby songs without wearing a truss.
I am still enjoying the fact that elvis the "King" passed away while trying to pass a large one on the toilet with a burger in his hand, now that they have stopped playing his songs all the time on the radio and telly, but it took much too long.
And I cant wait around for very long for this glibb thing to recede into the background clatter of the twenty first century mainly because i am getting on in years and my brain cannot contemplate either a heaven or a heck with robin glibb in it, in effect I am now more terrified of dying than I was as a small child.
I dont know whether to be good or bad anymore, supposing I am good and glibb is up there when I die? Then what? can I ask the almighty if I can go downstairs instead?
But then again, if I carry on being a very bad man and glibb is downstairs when I die, then I have effectively wasted my whole lifes labours to achieve a warm afterlife with people i care about all around me.
OOOH fantasic, glibb being a catholivc may have gone to purgatory or limbo, both of these places I have no intention of visiting due to misapprehensions about seating arrangements.
Limbo sounds really bad for me pesonally because of my bad back, I cant bend down very far.
Purgatory sounds bad as well in fact in sounds so bad that it may be good enough for the sadly departed and not so very vocal now are we glibb brother, and especially so if I keep being bad because I will go downstairs instead hopefully.
Except of course it troubles me that Michael Jackson may be downstairs because of some stuff he got away with when he was nearly still alive on this earth to do with paying parents off for silence.
This is confusing, I just considered being good at the last moment to get a ticket to heaven, even if its just in the stalls, but then remembered donny osmond will be there, unless of course he really was too friendly with his sister as folk have allready sussed.
Muat remember to talk to PPP about how to become an atheist, it appears so much safer in the long run, and the dead stay dead which for me personally is a big plus.

Sorry dudes and dudettes but you would not want me to lie would you?
I did not like robin glibb or any of the heeby jeebies at all even when they had just been created in the lab and hadnt yet done me any personal harm. (that came later)
Robin used to steal my sisters pants off the washing line, I was allways chasing him away and it wore me out as he was very fast at leaping garden walls.
He never gave them back or said he was sorry even when he got to be the richest man in the world by singing at folks so much they gave him money for old rope, which incidently , he gathered when he was younger by stealing folks whole washing lines as well as ladies pants.
once when I shouted after him "go away you strange man and leave my sisters panties alone" he started singing the very beginings of "staying alive" back at me.
I dont like bullies, especially pant stealing bullies.
AND the song "staying alive turned out to be a big lie after all didnt it? as he didnt, which has just been proved beyond reasonable doubt by his recent failure to stay alive.

Rossy, I can certainly handle you're not liking Robin G. and my jazz. After all this is RST, and I can go right ahead playing some of those things knowing there are others who may like it (or not).
As for the history with Robin that you mention I can understand these deep seated feelings you are harboring. In all truthfulness, however, I've told you a million times not to exagerate!
