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.
Robby will need a drink or two tonight.

Not sure it was on good vibrations the one I got in mind… When I red about it it was years ago and the humpah about Good Vibrations was still far away but it was a little keyboard definitely, and no Bob in sight. It must be 2 different instruments.

It must be 2 different instruments. It's called a "Tannerin", or electro-theremin.. TANNERIN It looks like a keyboard, but has a slide control, and is much easier to control the pitch/frequency,... LOADS of fun and cool sound! If it makes a noise, I'll love it! Bagpipes, I grew up with for pete's sake! If Scotsman can squeeze a sheep bladder & push wind thru a reed,....? -------------------- Don't take any noise for granted. With a little rythym, it could be music.
