joel this is overwhelming; what a performance;
I remember poor robert Norris who was a brilliant cellist at my school; we used to torment him by wailing this tune at him ...

It made me get my cello out from the corner ...


btw did you get whalebone?

Gilla, it's called a Theramin.

Pete, I did get Whalebone. What with my slowness at reading music, I don't know how it goes, but I will check when I get the time and will do a hand-drawn version soon.

Love to both...

Clara Rockmore is Leon Theremin's niece and probably the only ever professional thereminist, or so I am reliably informed. Brings tears to the eyes . . .if they were not there already. Cathy

I doubt that Leon would have asked her to marry him so many times (as I am reliably informed) if she were his niece...

Also I have met Pamelia Kirsten, who is a professional theraminist (for people such as David Byrne, no less). But I don't mean to be so contradictory...
