Damn you Padrick, you’ve done it again! Now I’m off to learn more about the theremin …

I really want one! When I saw it played at the cookout - it was amazing. And it seems rather easy to pick up. I don't think my wife would appreciate it, but I guess it's less obnoxious than learning the violin!

I tried very briefly to learn the guitar and then my brother-in-law, who is quite good, told me it would take years to become tolerable ... so I quit! I listen to music really well though. (And sorry about the misspell on your last name. I wish we could edit comments in the app.)

Not to worry! Yes, I’m a good music listener, too - professional grade, I’d say!

That’s very cool - would love to have him come to my school!

Did you know Robert Moog sold theremins prior to developing the synthesizer that bears his name and becoming a professor at my alma mater? Check out the “Moogseum” in Asheville, NC and you can even try playing a theremin.

Now, I will get my theremin fix with your playlist and an addition of my own, “Pump it Up” by Elvis Costello (and THE only Elvis in my opinion!).

I knew there was a Moog/Asheville connection, but I’ve never been to the Moogseum. A definite stop the next time we’re there! I also can’t help but think middle school band would have benefited from a theremin!
