:42:00
and he was kicking me
on the soles of my feet.
:42:04
He said "Wake up.
There's somebody on the phone."
:42:08
lt was Glenn
and he was talking away.
:42:11
l don't know
how long l had been sleeping...
:42:15
but l didn't even remember
the sequence he was just--
:42:21
The words were just pouring out.
:42:24
The phone rang and as l picked it up
it was Glenn Gould on the other end.
:42:28
He said " Hi this is Glenn Gould
and l feel like talking."
:42:32
" Mario" he said "l came across the
most marvelous opera for your program."
:42:38
l said "What is it?"
He said "You know Ernst Krenck?"
:42:40
l said "Yes certainly."
He said...
:42:42
"l've got
this marvelous opera by him."
:42:45
He said "Wait l've got
the score here. l'll sing it to you."
:42:48
So he sang this entire
one-act opera--
:42:51
one-act two-scene opera--
over the telephone...
:42:54
in his not-very-pleasant voice.
:42:57
He was very much involved
with himself.
:43:02
You know he didn't think
of what others had to--
:43:06
what others had to do
or their responsibilities.
:43:10
You know
he was consumed with--
:43:13
with what he was doing
and his own things.
:43:16
His will was that he left...
:43:19
half of estate to the SPCA--
:43:23
Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals--
:43:27
and the other half
to the Salvation Army.
:43:29
Yes! Getting 31 8 back from Ottawa...
:43:34
to tune for the conservatory...
:43:36
when l was phoned up about it...
:43:38
l thought "Should l do this?"
:43:42
l thought " No l'm going to do it
just for old-times' sake."
:43:44
And when l got working on 31 8 again
and cleaned it up...
:43:49
and tuned it and worked
on the action a bit...
:43:52
it felt good.
:43:54
So l guess l miss him.
:43:57
l miss his intelligent comments...
