Re: GG: Bringing Out Voices



"The Kazdin Book". Is it any good? And is it available in the UK? I've 
never seen it and my mum is asking me what I'd like for Xmas... I'd love 
to know.

Martin

ps: Those of you waiting for news of the BBC's propsed Glenn Gould 
Night: firm commissioning will take place after Xmas because we have a 
new network controller, but at the moment things look very good. 
Naturally I'm proposing that any Gould theme night should begin at 
midnight and finish at 06:00, but the network seem to think the audience 
figures might suffer... Some people have no integrity.
