The awards are a great idea and the shortlist is brilliant, David!  Just
goes to show how much the internet has linked up, shared and encourage the
amazing wealth of production of diverse music generally, and particularly
theremin music.  Look forward to hearing the  show!

Thanks!  Programs like these are always incomplete, for a variety of 
reasons.  I'd hate to think I missed a piece of music because I didn't 
know about it, for example.  Some folks think to tell me about their new 
music, some don't, and I don't always catch it on my own.  And there are 
always clearance issues -- the Kavina/Buchholz album situation was the 
most frustrating thing this year.  Still, the new Latecomers Award 
hopefully will serve to help some of that.

The program starts in 30 minutes! :-)
