Bebe died on the 20th, aged 80. Bebe and Louis Barron did the first ever all electronic motion picture score for Forbidden Planet (dubbed by MGM "electronic tonalities") in 1956 with their vaccum tube gizmos.

I read an interview with Walter Sears (owns Sears Sound in NYC) and he was an early adopter of Moog synths and the Theremin and I understand the Beach Boys used something akin to a ribbon controller with the Theremin on "Good Vibrations" and if I remember correctly (I could be wrong) it was something that Bob Moog had a hand in developing as he was quite a fan of the Theremin.
