White Christmas On The Theremin
If talkbox professionals have had trouble finding work since the eighties, then imagine what the poor Theramin players are going through. There hasn’t been a large demand for the Theramin since Ed Wood was in nylons.
If the sound of the Theramin isn’t strange enough, the way that it has to be played makes it look like the musician is constantly going “Ta Dah!” for a a trick that you never see. This video should bring a twinkle to your eye with its almost surreal awesomeness.
Enjoy!
Pekkanini With “White Christmas” on the Theramin
If you’re looking for more holiday music to get you through the next couple of days, don’t forget about all the great playlists that you all contributed to FineTune Friday: The Holidaze.

Wow. I’ve never heard of a theremin until now, and had to look it up on wikipedia just to find out what the heck it actually is!
What a weird instrument, and Pekkanini’s other videos on youtube are just as wacky as this one. I love the woman walking in front of the camera though.
