Blah-ditty-blah

ahhh. . the week is almost done for me. . . one of the shop guys brought in his personal theremin. . . it's this wacky instrument. . i'm still not sure how it works, but it consists of a box in the center with a vertical antenna on the right side and a horizonal loop antenna on the left side. the right antenna controls pitch. .. so as your hand moves closer to it, the pitch raises, and the left antenna controls volume and the closer your hand is to it, the more quite it gets.

once you've heard it, you can completely recognize it's synthesized sound as the common sound made by cheap UFO's in movies. . .

it's really difficult to play, but during my lunch, i was teaching myself mary had a little lamb. . . and maybe the theme to bonanza. . .and the evil darth vader theme from star wars.

anyway, tonight i should be on my way to the evening balloon glow and fireworks. . hope to have pictures for you all next week. . . have a good one!
