GLENN GOULD - THE MOZART PIANO SONATAS, VOL. 3 LP 72

 For this post for the weekly classical theme, I inserted some piano-playing two sides piano cheat sheet note cards that had fallen from some other Goodwill vinyl so I tucked them in here.  Per Discogs:      Real Name:  Glenn Herbert Gould (né Gold)

Profile:  Born: Glenn Herbert Gold, 25 September 1932 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada:  Died: 4 October 1982 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada (aged 50)

Glenn Gould was a Canadian pianist, known especially for his recordings of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and his eccentric piano technique and personality.

He recorded most of Bach's keyboard works, all of Mozart's sonatas, all five of Beethoven's piano concertos and 23 of the 32 piano sonatas, the complete piano works and Lieder of Arnold Schoenberg, works by Sibelius, Bizet, Richard Strauss and Paul Hindemith.

Gould was also a composer, writer, lecturer, and producer of radio documentaries and television programs.

Gould assumed the parts of fictitious characters such as: "dean of British conductors", Sir Nigel Twitt-Thornwaite; a German critic, Dr. Herbert von Hochmeister; and a New York cab driver, Theodore Slutz of Brooklyn Heights. Other alter egos were Dr. Karlheinz Klopweisser, a German composer and critic; Sir Humphrey Price-Davies, a "BBC-type pedagogue"; Duncan Haig-Guinness, a Canadian radio producer; and two psychiatrists, S.F. Lemming, M.D., and Wolfgang von Krankmeister. He even published certain articles under the name "Herbert von Hochmeister". Some of these characters were used on Glenn Gould - The Glenn Gould Silver Jubilee Album.

 After my coworker informed me last Monday of Barry Gibb's death, I decided it was time to harvest all my Goodwill cheapo finds over a couple of decades (going during lunch break at work) of Barbra Streisand's best via the collective source it seems as all are top notch and I remembered that she had done an album with Barry Gibb.  Twas quite a chore but I had help to fill in most of the missing at this blog (which also I missed a couple 2010 listed there, live and a couple more you can get since they didn't zip up but with errors so left out) as link two (https://musicmaniamachine.blogspot.com/2018/11/barbra-streisand-discography.html .  At any rate I sorted all the vinyl and my CD's as well and was really thrilled how it turned out (she sounded like Bjork on one song and some others as other familiar voices) but the core city stuff like Central Park and the early Broadway/Movie stuff goes well together while the CD's I have not heard yet but look to fit perfectly as best stuff.  Also, took the time to repost a few Megapost's of her friends in below short links leaving up the original posts.  Found four more to add to the previous Cat Stevens and the extra Harold & Maude bonus tracks.  Enjoy!

Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron - Plus CD 69 96 -cc.

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Per Discogs:  Psychedelic rock group from San Francisco, formed in 1967, disbanded in 1970 and re-formed in 1995. Combining the sounds of rock with electronic instruments and avant-garde compositional ideas, they are recognized as precursors to bands like Throbbing Gristle.

The original group comprised three core members: founder and bassist Louis "Cork" Marcheschi, guitarist David Blossom, and his wife, vocalist Nancy Blossom, augmented by Kim Kimsey (drums) and Larry Evans (guitar). Marcheschi & Blossom "had been part of the Mills College Tape Music Center and had access to all of the innovations” devised by Donald Buchla, but Marcheschi also built theremins, circuits and audio generators of his own - hence their unique sound.

In 1995, Marcheschi reformed the group for live performances in San Francisco, with a new set of musicians. These performances led to the release of the album Live & Unreleased, which was followed in 1997 by a new studio album, Sing Like Scaffold. On the latter album, Fifty Foot Hose essentially comprised Marcheschi, Walter Funk III, Reid Johnston, Lenny Bove, Elizabeth Perry, and Dean Cook. Funk and Johnston subsequently formed the avant-garde electronic band Kwisp, the first of whose two albums also featured Marcheschi.

NERVOUS EATERS - Loretta 7 76 w Just Head 7 79 w Eaterville CD 73 - 75 w WCOZ Live 78 w Eat This! 02 w Hot Steel And Acid 86 w st LP 80 w Record 10 CD 10

REPOST Request:  Adding the Record 10 for the man upstairs at DU: Luis Miguel Sousa de Jesus.  Per Wiki: The Nervous Eaters, one of Boston's first punk rock / rock and roll bands with Steve Cataldo on vocals and guitar, Robb Skeen on bass, and Jeff Wilkinson on drums. Forming in 1973 they had used the name some years earlier, but had not performed live under it. As the Rhythm Assholes, they had backed local rock legend Willie Alexander on his single "Kerouac" and in concert. After a name change, they made their debut at the hub of the city's alternative music scene, the Rathskeller—known as the Rat—in March 1976. Their first single, "Loretta", appeared later that year on the club's Rat label.

Early on, the band experienced problems holding on to a second guitarist, but Alan Hebditch, a childhood friend of Cataldo's, became a regular fixture in early 1978. Along with the Real Kids and DMZ, they were considered among the scene's "punkier" bands. Centered on Cataldo's "great rock & roll voice" and "jangly guitar", in the description of AllMusic's Joe Viglione, they were the "Rolling Stones of Boston...hard-rocking, riff-blasting, tongue-in-cheek". By 1978, they were one of the most popular acts in the city. Their second Rat single, the punk rock styled, "Just Head", appeared in 1979.
