A friend over at Piano World gave me a head's up to this radio program:

I listened to the CBC "SUNDAY EDITION" broadcast "Out Of Thin Air - In Praise Of The Theremin", hosted by Michael Enright.

Toronto thereminist, Clara Venice, who apparently shares a soul with Clara Rockmore, explained on the show that the theremin would have been an enormous success when it was first introduced back in 1929, were it not for the fact that just as it was about to be launched by RCA, inventor Leon Theremin was kidnapped by Stalin and sent to Siberia.

Because of this, the theremin was left high and dry without a spokesperson, so unfortunately it was a flop.

Where do you suppose this silly little girl gets her information?

Probably from the same well antique Theremin shaman and the like go to drink.  Even when given the big book of everything, ignorance springs eternal.  What is one to do?
