AETHERPHON, global theremin family

My skills, meager as they are, fortunately, haven't suffered all that 
much from the enforced hiatus. Plus, my family gets a break from 
night after night of hearing "Dark Shadows" music. 

Are you going to try and make Etherfest??? I am. Don't know if Sheri 
will be with me, but I've requested time for a builder's forum to 
give a talk on Gabby's construction and theremin theory in general. 
If the folks at Moog say yes to my proposal, any one who has built a 
theremin is welcome to help out.
