Re: [Aetherphon] Theremin on "I've Got a Secret" (1966)

2008-02-09 by John Hoge

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
