YouTube and They Might Be Giants are saving sanity around the Avelis house today.
TMBG are now making music for kids, but leaving out all the Suck you usually find in kids' music. As a parent, I appreciate that.
...and now, since Theo's Grandpa is probably shaking his head at the first video, here's some Bach.

It's always interesting to me to see another old kinescope of Glenn Gould playing.....even though he was never at his best while playing with others. His solo performances of a number of works earn him the title of greatest pianist of the 20th Century, in my book. No "might" in his case; he was an authentic giant.
(On the piano, of course....like so many performers, he got into political causes and philosophizing, and proved to be a total loony. But of course, since he belongs to that class, he's just referred to as "eccentric.")
