New sign is a beautiful tribute
Dear editor:
h village
As 1 drove north of the d e
�
limits last Friday, I just had to pull
over and admire the village's new
"Welcome to our Sepoy Town”
'sign. It is indeed a beautiful tribute
to the village's past and future.
I wondered later how many of our
young citizens know about the
historical associations with the
'r'0 THE EDITOR
words on the sign. As a young girl,
I became well acquainted with the
British/Scottish connection, and the '
use Of the word Sepoy named for
the group of Indians who mutinied
against UK forces ncar Lucknow,
Indid in the 1 50s.
I am so pleased that .this modern
sign reflects the past with its use of
wood and the original phrases of
the early signs.. I do hope that these
signs will inspire a sense of- pride
and respect among the residents of
this fine community.
Jane Nielsen.
The first of four new signs to welcome visitors to the Village of Lucknow was installed at the
north end of the village last week. Here Tony Gingrich (left) of Huron Landscaping, along with
Reeve Stuart Reavie and designer Bevin Finlay check out the work. Former councillor Lynn Peck
spearheaded the project to get the new signs in town, along with councillor Lillian Abbott. (Pat

Glenn Gould: the music of solitude
by James Marsh
On April 10, 1964 the brilliant
Canadian pianist Glenn Gould
performed a concert in Los An-
geles, California. His appearance on
.stage was spellbinding. He swayed
as if in a trance, hummed along out
of tune and conducted an imaginary
orchestra with one hand. He played
pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach,
with "poetry and elegance" one
critic wrote. Indeed, Gould was
acknowledged as the supreme
master of Bach's music. At the end,
he hung his head, exhausted. No
one present, except Gould himself,
knew that this was the last time one
of the greatest pianists of the cen-
tury would play in public. He was
only 32 years old.
Gould began his, concert career in
Toronto at the age of 14. After His
debut in Washington, Columbia
Records signed him immediately to
a contract, the first time they every
signed an unknown musician: His
recording of a little-known piece by
Bach, the Goldberg Variations,
became one of, the most famous
recordings of all time. •
Gould was soon in demand all
over the world. He was invited to
Moscow - the first Western pianist
to be so honored in 50 years - to
Berlin, Vienna and a hundred other
places. He played with the greatest
orchestras and conductors. On
hearing him play, a Russian con-
ductor was stunned. "It cannot be"'
he said. -
But Gould hated travelling. He
couldn't sleep and he dreaded
airplanes. Above all, he hated the
concert stage itself. He compared a
concert to a bullfight, with the
audience out for blood. "A perfor-
mance is not a contest" he said,
"but a love affair." He could not
experience that love affair on stage.
Gould quit the sepncert stage al-
together after Los Angeles. For one
of the century's greatest musicians
to simply quit the stage had never

'i a
happened before in the history of
music. But Gould believed that
concerts were a thing ofthe past,
that only through recordings could
he communicate truly with is audience.
Gould dedicated the rest of his
life to recording, writing and com-
posing. His wit and intelligence
made Hint a star on radio and
television. But Gould retired in his
personal life too, to find a solitude
that would being him deeper
knowledge of himself and of his
music. '
In 1981 Gould recorded Bach's
Goldberg Variations a second time
and announced that he would retire
from recording as well. A few
months later, at the age of 50, he
died.
Today Gould is as famous as he
was during his concert days, per-
haps more so. His many recordings
sell all over the world. Films, ar-
ticles and books analyze his playing
and his life, and debate his
controversial decision to give up the
concert stage.

You can have your say
Oh social programs

Canada's social programs. There is
a booklet available entitled 'Have
Your Say', published by the
government of Canada. I got my
