Yeah,,, crazy prices for sure. $#@%^&$$$
Thanks very much to everyone for your input :)... and willingness to possibly point me in a good direction if one happens to surface at a more realistic price.
On another note,,, I gave my first public outdoor performance a couple weeks ago in my Artsy Downtown area of my hometown in Lake Worth, Fl. I was the spotlight artist while the main Latin Jazz band took a break. I did two twenty minute sessions and it was a blast. It was neat to see people moving right up to the front of the stage area to see just what the heck I was doing waiving my hands around,,, Hahaha, and to try and see how the theremin worked. They were amazed and mystified! It was a lot of fun and I would like to do it again.
