It left me in enough of a cozy state by the end that I was quite startled to hear his corny and loud german accent making a joke about the variations I just heard.

> What is he noodling on the piano while he is waiting to set up the interview, I wonder? I heard GG loved improvising, but I only got to hear snatches here and there on the programs. So this was a real treat to hear him play a little while. And I get to play that type of guessing game he liked on his birthday weekend. The interview is mostly about his composing plans.--ksenia
