AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Oh yes,
VL:"it's actually a struggle to get anyone to come out for
live music. Period. Challenging live music? Feh!",
we are not alone in this aspect of the entertainment revolution.

All the folks in the repertory theaters I used to work with are facing this
same challenge.
Getting us humans, out of our homes (away from the flat screen and
computer) and not into a movie theater but to any kind of a live show is
tougher than ever!

Now given the risk factors
[e.g. you pay 100 bucks US for a Broadway ticket, end up in a partial view
seat and then the person in front of you vomits and decides to stay anyway,
a true story]
I'm shy of paying more than 10 bucks US for anything I'm not totally sure
about.  But at that 10 buck and less level I'm willing to risk sitting in a
folding chair and regret forgetting my earplugs because I've been rewarded
by a few real gems.

Now-a-days I usually only go out for theremin related events or friends who
are performing.  True, I may not go again to a theremin act I didn't like or
hurt my ears, but I try to catch them the first time at least and talk about
it.  I'll admit I'm biased to two antenna theremins, I won't word-of-mouth
just pitch only sound effects usage but I would *never* bad mouth or condemn
it.  The world needs more artists, period.

Live music is a tough row to hoe,
live theremin music more so,
that's why we need both the corporate
and grass roots to grow.

Denver?  Ah, where a thereminist can walk a mile high!
Have there been any theremins at Red Rocks yet?

Thanks for the interesting smoke *Victoria Lundy.*
