Indeed. His 1981 recording. More deliberate and contemplative than his 1955 recording.

Maybe I'll listen to Gould in the fishroom today. Last week, I dug out an old windows 7 netbook, cleaned it up and loaded a lot of music onto it so I can listen in the fishroom though cheap speakers. I can't worry about sound clarity with an air driven system. The bubbling of the filters is significant.
But when I do what I call work out there, I like music in the air, rather than through earbuds. Since it's a noisy garage, I lean to garagy bands out there, but piano would get through. In the quiet, clear house, I listen to a lot of cello and baroque music, but the fishroom is generally electric guitars, punk, blues, hip hop and reggae.
Today, I try to collect eggs from my newish Pseudomugil gertrudae, my lampeyes and some Aphyosemions. It's still too cold for water changes, as the oxygen in the water makes it grey with micro-bubbles. Tomorrow looks better for that. My wife is having friends over this afternoon, and they'll all go snowshoeing up the back field and into the paths through the woods. So that'll be musical fishroom time, as there's no way I'm going on that expedition in these temperatures.
One of the drawbacks of my system out there is that as debris gets siphoned up, it can end up in the pipes under the floor drain. That could become a problem, so yesterday I rebuilt my solution to it. The hose drains to a box on the floor. I have an outlet on the box that leads to the drain, and the debris settles on the bottom of the box before it gets there. I clean it out as it builds up, and it works very well as a catchment. Yesterday was redrilling and repairing day, as I hadn't done a good job the first time through.

I started to do a water change this afternoon and when my feet started to get wet I realised the end of the siphon tube was not in the bucket 
. Needless to say, I haven't actually done a water change as it took too long sopping up water out of the carpet with a mop, and now the dehumidifier is on fast speed trying to dry things out.
I won't be doing a water change tomorrow either - there's no way I intend standing outside searching the bucket for shrimps with Storm Eowyn trying to blow me into next door's garden. We are in the amber alert area.

Here in the US amber alerts are for missing children.
We get weather warning alerts as well - yellow, amber, red
