In my new house, right after thanksgiving, the oven broke. Since I am a new homeowner, this is my problem. I had to call the repair man and wait at home for him.<\/p>\n
He said he’d come wednesday, so I had to miss some work to meet him in the afternoon. Since I was missing work anyway, I thought I would try to get some other home things done.<\/p>\n
My piano needed tuning. I did a search on google for “piano tuner” and my area code. First guy that popped up I called, and he was free.<\/p>\n
So my oven was fixed. Kitty loved him, I don’t know why, but Skellig rubbed all over him while he was on the kitchen floor. He told me that the oven is good for a long time now. Nice to know I don’t have to replace it. I like it.<\/p>\n
Then the piano tuner came. I was talking with him, and he let out that he was a Theremin player<\/a>.<\/p>\n EVERYONE ought to know what a Theremin is. If you don’t, do your homework<\/a>!<\/p>\n I confess, I only has superficial knowledge of the Theremin before I met Roger Ballenger. I knew that it was used in the Beach Boys “Good Vibrations”, and that it was a standard Halloween instrument. Also, that it is the first electronic music instrument.<\/p>\n What I didn’t know was how cool Mr. Theremin himself was.<\/p>\n I asked Roger what a person who plays the theremin is called.<\/p>\n A Thereminist? That’s what he called it, but he confessed that he didn’t know if it was the official name.<\/p>\n I had to think about it a little. He said that the way you play the Theremin involves moving your hands across the radio waves to interrupt the inaudible frequency and create an audible sound.<\/p>\n “Like Massaging the radio waves?” I asked. “I know! A person who plays the theremin is a Theremineuse!”<\/p>\n Long and short of it is, I learned a lot about Theremins and also got my piano tuned.<\/p>\n I’ve been playing it a lot lately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my new house, right after thanksgiving, the oven broke.
