Carvin, The program you are thinking of is my new one scheduled to premiere in December. "Different Drummers: Rare Instruments and Unusual Music" is a showcase of those less used instruments and unorthodox approaches to music. While I love vintage Moog synthesizers, they wouldn't really qualify as rare or unusual anymore, but Ud and Shortwave Radio? Absolutely! ----- DAVID VESEL -- synthetic music for humans http://davidv.purplenote.com davidv@... ----- The Purple Note Radio Network: Spellbound, a brief program of music for theremin Sunday 10PM-12AM http://spellbound.purplenote.com Different Drummers: Rare Instruments and Unusual Music Coming Soon http://diffdrum.purplenote.com ----- carvin knowles wrote: > Wooohoooo! > > I should send you more stuff.
