Yep, it was my …
Yep, it was my playback device for a while. It has a memory card in it that lets me transfer tunes to it.
Now I use a small notebook computer as it’s easier to see, and holds more data. It also lets me play just the tune I need to play until I’m ready for the next one.
Wow! Do you mean …
Wow! Do you mean you just use a PlayStation Portable to play the background music ??? Cool! I’ve got a Sony PSP Slim, but still gotta find out to get properly music on it, as I usually only use it for gaming
… It’s not nice if they stuck … I had it sometimes with some games, but not much! My BF’s one died some while ago, but happily after all he still had warrantee for 1 month
Yep … Crazy drunk men sometimes …
Yes, when that man …
Yes, when that man walked up to the theremin, it really messed with my concentration for a moment, because I had to wave him off, and then get back into the zone.
The little device next to me was a Sony PSP, but for some reason it got stuck in a mode where it just played every track in the folder, so all I could do was just play through everything. LOL
Great job on the …
Great job on the fact you needd to improvise because of that drunk man on 23:39 … I clearly can hear you was somehow out of yur concentration afterwards, but finaly you knew how to get things straight!
BTW … What’s that lil’ thing standing on a stative right to you? Is it a kinda music player or so? Seems to be a handy thing!
Indeed. Thanks.
Indeed. Thanks.
A metheor could …
A metheor could break into a pub through the ceiling… they, with a falling tooth, would still ask first for their drink from under the mass rock. Good job, Sr. I appreciate it.
That’s how …
That’s how etherwave standards sound. It was on it’s best setting. Also, the audio is rubbish because the digital recorder malfunctioned, and I had to record the audio right from the camcorder’s mic. The cameras recorded great video, but their audio was rubbish.
Had the digital recorder worked, the tone quality would have been more faithfully recorded, an it wouldn’t have sounded like humming. The talking croud didn’t help matters either.
I’ve seen your …
I’ve seen your instruction video so I know how this is supposed to sound, but what I don’t understand is why you chose a setting for this venue that makes it sound so much like you are just humming. If you can change that setting I would say you would have got this crowds attention if it sounded more like a steel guitar or synth, or even a violin, anything but the humming. Thanks.
Thank you for the …
Thank you for the kind words, and greetings.

There was video …
There was video shot by a film maker who’s doing a documentary on me, and one of the employees shot a little video.
Unfortunately, my camera decided to not work lastnight, so I’ll have to wait for a copy of some of the video the others shot to come in, and I’ll post it.
Oh, nice. Have you …
Oh, nice. Have you got a video of the restaurant?
Keep on working
Thanks. Yeh, that …
Thanks. Yeh, that was at a pub, they’re like that there unfortunately.
It was a different story at a restaurant I played at lastnight. When I started playing, most of the conversations died down.
Suckers… Why …
Suckers… Why didn’t they shut their mouths?
Nice music mr.
Indeed. Thanks.
Indeed. Thanks.
well good luck with …
well good luck with the restaurant performance man! should be a quieter audience!
Eh, that’s to be …
Eh, that’s to be expected.
The announcer had the volume up pretty loud, and a good number of them did get to hear some of it, and those that could hear it, certainly enjoyed it.
My performance at the restaurant next week should go a lot better.
stupid pub people …
stupid pub people being loud- can’t appreciate your awesome theremin skills!
