I must say I had the worst practice session of my life last week. I was working on my folk trio stuff and there was lots of whiskey involved. It went something like this: "Hahahaha!" *stumble stumble whoopsey! squeEEEEEEEEeeeeeoooommmphaaaaaah* "Shit, did I do that? I have to pass out now." I really don't recall much beyond the first few bars of the first song...but the gig was smashing! I do not touch a single drop until after a show--ever.

A workshop teacher once told us "our feelings are like fishes swimming around in us. They come and go all over. What we really are is the ocean they are swimming in."
My fish are usually big killer sharks :~)
but whenever I can get back to perspective
I see they're really just carp and I can deal with thier crap. I'm glad this thread too the upswing too, that's what friends are for.
I'm gotta keep reminding myself: we are in this for the long haul, and when you're in it for the long haul after awhile the knarly bits even out with the consistency of life effort.
That's why it really is important to
KEEP ON PLAYING!

So - not only does the Theremin show up alcohol, it also indicates (ab)use of other substances.. unlike the breathalyser..
Excuse me sir - would you please play this Theremin before you get into your car...

I know at least two thereminists who smoke pot. One makes very impressive experimental music, the other is a notorious borderline candidate who makes less impressive experimental music. I personally don't since at my age (45) I prefer legal high quality drugs: At least 7 years old red wine from Bordeaux, small cigars, vodka from Poland, theremins made in U.S., the kosher variant of French kitchen... ;-)
