For all you Theremin fans:
You'll probably find everything you've always wanted to know about the
theremin by pointing your browsers at the following:
http://firstmarket.com/~bobs/theremin.html
What it is, it's history, how to build one, where to buy one, sound bites,
where you can get recordings, how to play it (see "playing solutions"),
famous Thermin musicians, links to other Theremin sites, even a teacher's
registry (in case you decide to get really serious about your newly found
avocation).
Enjoy! - ron
