AETHERPHON, global theremin family

I just watched the video, Susi- that was great fun!  And you did great, 
and showed lots of that magical quality:  poise.

I think it's a great introduction to theremin for the public.  And I 
thought the clowning around by the two fellows was charming and had a lot 
of personality.  I can see why the show is popular.  You didn't squeeze in 
a performance of a serious concerto, but that's for another place.  :)

If only I had seen something like that earlier in my life, heh.  It would 
have made an enthusiast out of me.  It just takes seeing a brief spot like 
that to get hooked, if you've got the bent for it.  It all got across.
