PBS History Detectives HURRAY! Elyse and her crew are out this weekend shooting the first story of HISTORY DETECTIVES Season 8. It's about a musical instrument called the theremin. Have you heard a theremin? The answer is YES, you undoubtedly have. Any theremin experts out there who want to tell the rest of us what a theremin sounds like?

Brian Wilson would be a good man to talk to about theremins and their history. It wasn't just "Good Vibrations" to him. :-)
