Micro-Theremin parts

[Milliams]

Hi!
For all those interested in the Micro-Theremin, the site is called
"Electronics For Music": www2.vivid.net/~tomg/
I have found 2 sources so far for the 4049 IC. Radio Crap has a 4049UB for
about $2. Mouser has a 4049CMOS for $7.60 and a surface-mount version for
$.44!! 
- Can anyone tell me what a "surface-mount" IC is?
Mouser had the cera and ele caps. I don't think they sell resistors singley,
but Rat Shack sells them in smaller amounts.
Mouser also has the much-sought-after-by-me "photocells", a.k.a.
photoresistors. I had to call their tech support in order to find out exactly
what they were! I think after all this, they it is the same dealy-bop that
activates my bathroom nite-lite!
Anyways, Tom G(????) has many other great projects listed. You can see his
progress listed on them, it's neat to follow.
The Mini-3 analog keyboard looks pretty cool too!
- Is anyone else working on these things, and if so, where els to find the
parts?
- Does anyone know if this circuit is similar to Forrest M. MIms, III's "Light
Sensitive Up-Down Tone Generator" listed in "Getting Started in Electronics"
by Radio Slack? It's on page 123. By, the way, its a good for for stupid
newbies comme moi!
Thank you
