So true, Vic.  Sound people don't understand this unique requirement  
for thereminists.

I always provide my own speaker for the dry theremin signal that goes  
(as you mentioned) behind and to the right on a stand at ear level.

Philip, sounds like you had a good time at the gig.  When playing for  
a reception type event (as opposed to a concert setting) one must be  
prepared for a lot of noise.  Even in concert settings there is always  
the unexpected noise.
