Wouldn't want to hear it every day either It was different and did sound nice, but I noticed something very strange. It appears that Peter there can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Notice when he sings, he has to stop playing and starts playing again after he finished singing. HE better not try and pull that crap if I had to pay to see him. Otherwise, I'd be forced to go onstage and slap some talent into him

Hey, have you ever tried playing one of these things? They are very difficult to play.

 

[spartacus53]

No I have never even tried to play a theremin, but that still wouldn't stop me from slapping him

I'm sure if I pick it up, I'll be playing and singing along to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star in no time

Reminds me of Hunting with Relco (BFO) Detectors
in the 60's

 

[thrillathahunt]

Now that is funny Jeff. Probably the same kind of eletronics too, 'cause I think it was invented in the 20's.

The theremen was, and is only good for sound effects in a horror movie

I thought the Beach Boys used it fairly well. Maybe this guy could learn 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', another one of my all time favorite Beatles songs I don't listen to.

RGINN, you know I always thought the Beach Boys used a Theremin in "Good Vibrations" but when I looked it up on wikipedia, they said it is called a Tannerin. Which is really just a variation of the Theremin.
