[f_minor] 49 Shades Of Battleship Grey

[Elaine Parks]

I saw him in spring, coming into Britnell's Bookstore on Yonge Street with a huge file of music under one arm...he had on a long overcoat and hat; (gloves, I cannot remember for sure...)Apparently he really did feel cold a lot...there are those stories of him driving L. Bernstein (and others?) around the city with the heat blasting in the car, in the height of summer!

Cheers, 

Elaine

Dear f_minorites

My beloved Switzerland is currently being graced by a thing called "Summer". 

It is currently hot, humid and the best weather that you can imagine. 
I for one am enjoying myself, thinking in music terms about old Ska tunes and prolly a few cold drinks. 

But that is just me.

There are Legends within the GG Hagiography about GG walking around in full winter clothing around ALL* year. Are these accurate ? They do sound unbelievable.

Do we have one from one person who has seen him in such garb during High Summer ? Do we have accurate reports of people who have seen GG in his full "regalia" on hot summer nights  ? 

Pat, sweat and beers
