Hi Bill and Alec,

I will look for that Beach Boys album. I can see me sitting in the church listening to the Theramin as clearly as if it was yesterday - but it was in the early 40s. The musician playing it could create a vibrato by waving his hand back and forth and I remember one note sort of "slurred" into the next. It produced an eerie sound so I'm not surprised it was used by Alfred Hitchcock in his films. I can understand you having trouble mastering it, Bill, for I suspect it would be a very difficult instrument to play.

Happy Easter to both of you.

Chuck
