Great find thank you! I haven't seen this one before either, but it's exciting to learn of more theremin appearances on television during the late 50s and early 60s. We used to watch this show, quite a flash back. Will definitely keep it in mind and see if any more information of this player is still around, Paul Lippman from New York City and his theremin. He appeared or at least recorded with Perry Como at some point and also with Lew Davies & his Orchestra, on "Strange Interlude" and another record, probably as a response to the success of the Les Baxter and Samuel Hoffman's recordings. very! much appreciated, John -- ---------------------------------------------------- John Hoge, NYC "Absolutely dedicated to the propagation and continuation of the Theremin." www.hoge-theremin.com and also check out www.ThereminWorld.com On 2/9/08, ldahlke <ldahlke@...> wrote: > > This is my first post to the group (yes, I'm on the woo-woo list)!
