CBS Sunday Morning theremin segment on Oct.27th

The segment is supposed to air between 9-9:30 according to the producer

Thanks Rob! Do you have more info on this?

I know they interviewed Albert Glinsky at Caramoor, they interviewed me at Joe's Pub, they were talking with Peter about the Hoffman theremin, they filmed our last NY Theremin Society concert and that's what I know... As always nobody knows what winds up on the digital editor's digital floor

What worries me about these mainstream media theremin docu-segments is that they often deliberately go for the very WORST performances they can find. That's what CNN did back in 1996. Nobody really wants to hear a lovely performance of THE SWAN. It is far more entertaining to make a mockery of the instrument, and hear some musical nutcase play a totally off-key, unrecognizable, GONG SHOW style piece of junk that makes people laugh. 

God knows there's plenty of them thar!

Geez, I guess I shouldn't have told them that playing theremin is like having sex with ghosts...

Yes, it would be all too easy for them to treat our fringe community as "freaks" and to highlight how the theremin is different from things that the masses known and understand.  Let's hope they take the high road.

and I'll take the low road...

LOL - I thought you were joking!  But it looks like they picked up your line and ran with it dude...

Oh Lord!

Thats all I need! - My mother just about conceded that the theremin may not be evil when she heard "Amazing grace" played on a large number (world record breaker?) on BBC..

Lets just hope this "sex with ghosts" doesnt catch on! - Next move is that theremins will need to be specified as either sucubus or incubus attractors!

- Although, us non-muggles all know that they usually attract dementors...

Also - not sure, but with my wife looking for more grounds for divorce, adultery with a ghost by merit of playing the theremin.....

I for one got into Theremin research for a chance dalliance with the wraith of Cleopatra - does that make me a bad person?  I suppose it's all fun and games until someone gets their spirit poked.
