I just got back from the radio station where I was interviewed by Diane Williams with the Mississippi Arts Hour program. I also gave a short mini concert of two old standards, The Swan, and Vocalise on theremin.

The show was recorded, and will air on WLEZ 100.1FM for Jackson area listeners, Thursday, January 8, then it will air on MPB on Saturday at 11 a.m. on HD (91.3-2) and you'll have to have HD radio to listen to that. Then the show will re-air on Sunday at 3 p.m. here in Mississippi.

After that, the program will be available as a podcast. You will be able to access the podcast at: http://www.arts.state.ms.us/podcast/msartshour.xml

If the above does not work, here's the tiny url version: http://tinyurl.com/6hyunz

Mississippi Public Broadcasting is a statewide radio / television network here in Jackson, so all of Mississippi will have a chance to learn about, and enjoy the theremin on those dates, and then the world has a crack at it with the podcasts.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Thomas. This link worked for me (whereas the other one didn't). Now I'm all set up to listen.

Ah, good, I'm glad you were able to get the file. Ernesto Mendoza reported the same problem when he tried the older links.

Thanks.

Great recording Thomas, We should all take up the challenge and promote the Theremin as much as possible. I have been playing at Rotary clubs and Various societies (non musical), it is always a problem getting away.Keep up the good work.
Terry.

Thanks Terry, I've never considerred rotary clubs as a place to introduce the theremin. I'll have to think about that too. This gig was loads of fun.
