Gould was fairly obsessed with Petula Clark, he had a English setter called Nick(y) who "played a greater role in Gould’s life than human beings," and was very interested in things cold and northern, hence his docudrama The Idea of North.Originally posted by cloughie View Post

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
