Hilarious House of Frightenstein

This little device looks like something that would be found in an old Frankenstein black and white movie or something out of the Hilarious house of Frightenstein.

The inventors name was Leon Theremin and the Theremin was built in 1918. Vladimir Lenin liked the instrument so much that he actually took lessons!

This instrument was made more main stream while Jimmy Page of Zed Zeppelin used it in the studio and on stage. He plays this instrument in Whole Lotta Love and No Quarter.

You don’t really have to touch it to make sounds, get that all of you out there that say they can’t play any instruments! This video will show you how so check it out ok, you know who you are!

Keep on Jammin’

This was another show that I watched as a kid growing up in Brantford. The characters were just out of this world, the Count and Igor just to name a few.

The best part of the show was when Igor and the Wolf Man played albums and started to dance with a groovy psychedelic film going on in the background!

They played with guitars and basses during this part of the show. While quite naive back then, I thought that they were actual musicians. This is a link to the scene in the show that I am talking about. Back then I thought that the bat wing guitar that the wolfman used was real and I really wanted one!

If you want to see some more footage, go to YouTube for little morsels of the show.

Keep on Jammin’

The Theremin is a instrument of the future
