Hope needs compassionate action. Best to be compassionate anyway.

"Last night, I realized I had completely forgotten that it was Leon Thereminโs birthday ๐คฆโโ๏ธ But then I thought: what better way to pay tribute than with a quick โHappy Birthdayโ rendition on the instrument he gave us? So here it isโhappy (belated) birthday, Leon! ๐"

* Wikipedia now has Aug. 27 [O.S. Aug. 15], 1896 as a birth date for Leon Theremin.
O.S. = Old Style, indicating a dating system before a calendar change, in this case the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, I think.

The theremin's relationship with the musical saw:
From Saw Lady (@SawLady on the bird):
"When Leon Theremin invented his instrument, the saw was a popular musical instrument and he aimed to imitate electronically the sound of the saw. He did a great job! I did a very short duet with a thereminist (video: 2014)
