AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Wooohoooo!

I should send you more stuff. I've been BMI for 10
years now.

A while back you said that PNRN was not limited to
Theremin but that you were opening up to other
"unusual" instruments. Would that list include: Short
Wave Radio? Vintage Moog Synthesizers? Turkish Ud?

Just askin'

Most of what I do is "unusual." 

Peace

Carvin
