Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
We used to say that the woman who played guitar and violin was like our drummer because she was the glue that held us together.
I can see how important that would be. Touch on a string is a definite, deliberat beat for the dance of theremin playing. Is there any other instrument that you *don't* touch to play it?
Thanks for the insight, and the Stewart link. I miss him - my new cable co. doesn't carry Comedy Central. (I had CC there, but kept thinking I was talking about our CC)

There are some synths that have an infrared detector, but otherwise none that I can think of. It's one of the defining characteristics of the theremin.

May I mention how much I love "The Beautiful Calliopa" in Jon's set? If this was the kind of music that played on The Banana Splits all the time, I have misunderestimated the series.

Hec, I'm slowly catching up in other threads. Sorry about the job situation, man. The asshats make it hard to live with a little grace.

Oh, I'm having a braino -- what is the Iggy Pop song that quotes from Gershwin's "Summertime"? I can hear him breaking into it, but I can't remember which one it is!

Jon: thanks!

Thanks, Mr. Industries!
I was looking over the cowbell song list and thinking it was possible to put together an all-cowbell mix, though I'd have to purchase a few songs to do it with. (Naturally, I'd only use Theo-favored songs.) Though, if I don't get to use a few non-cowbell favorites in my mix I'll explode....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
For those of you who don't frequent the other threads, I got fired yesterday.
They were very weasley and unpleasant. They lied and lied and lied to me. Denied it the day before when I asked them directly. They snuck in and cut off my computer access in the few minutes it took for them to hand me my measley severance. (Fortunately I had a lot of vacation to cash out.)
But as Kim taught me long ago, unemployment checks are really just a grant for the arts.
In music news, did I mention how much I like Fountain of Wayne's b-sides and rarities collection Out-of-State Plates? It's fab.
