"Rockett is best known today for his series of Glenn Gould portraits, one  
of which was chosen by Canada Post for a limited edition series of 
commemorative  envelopes. The photos are on display in the National Gallery in Ottawa.
Rockett once told his wife Eve that he was Gould's favourite  photographer–
not because of his pictures, but because he didn't try to talk  music with 
the Canadian pianist. Rockett once told his wife Eve that he was  Gould's

Mary - on GG's "weird ear". He had attached earlobes (an  inherited trait); 
the extension of his right ear must have enhanced his  reception, and 
perhaps, his perception of sound (acting like a radio  receiver). 
 
Stefy - it is interesting that GG, in his last interview with Tim Page, and 
 in other interviews that one can glean from the films, mentions 
"technological"  gadgets - like the pocket calculator, stop watch - use of the word 
digital,  seen with his tape recorder, scene in the radio production studio 
with Lorne and  the mixer... using technology to create his ideal 
interpretation of what he was  hearing in the music.
 
Regards,
Katherine
