GG:Kultur video

[Gerald John Cho <gcho1@students.uiuc.edu>]

$39.95 is indeed expensive.  My suggestion is to try Tower Records.  The 
one that I frequent has the sony tapes for around $25. This volume 
"epilogue" also has an excerpt of conversation between Gould and Humphrey 
Burton. Does anyone have the uncut version?

p.s.  Tower's classical magazine once had a trivia contest about Gould.  
The question was, "How high was Gould's famous chair."
I was actually one of the winners and got a free video of the second 
Goldberg.
