To add to Bry’s relating of my theremin story, and to prolong the derail: it was indeed our first rehearsal for the very first show I played. JC and I had met in person only once before, very briefly at a concert. I went to his apartment, we played music, all was very nice and friendly. Then, as I was getting up to leave, I said, “Can I make a strange request?” He very cheerfully said “Sure,” but he had a little bit of an “Oh, no, I’ve invited a fan into my home and now she’s going to be creepy, was this a mistake?” look in his eyes. When I said, “Can I see your theremin?” I think he was a little bit relieved. I only wanted to see it because I’d never seen one in person, but he got it down and dusted it off and set it up so we could play around with it. It was totally sweet. I don’t think the cat enjoyed it, though.
