I just recently watched The Sherman Brothers. Fascinating story about the two brothers who wrote the music for among other things, Mary Poppins, Winnie the Pooh, Its’ a small world, etc. These two brothers were very different in many ways and the documentary explores the reasons why. I would highly recommend it.

the theremin documentarie was
fascinating, and i have seen portions
of the other one mentioned on cable,
about the deaf lady percussionist, of
course shes not deaf she just reassigned
her ears to the vibrations in her whole
body wich is close to real hearing

One of my all-time favorite music docs
is "Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey,"
which chronicles the bizarre life of Leon Theremin, inventor of the first
electronic synthesizer which later
became famous in 50s sci-fi
soundtracks and "Good Vibrations."
The music history alone is fascinating,
but what really sets this film apart is Theremin’s incredible personal story.
He was abducted by Soviet agents in
the mid-30s and spent the next 50
years creating surveillance devices for
the KGB. The film chronicles his return
to America and his reunion with family
and friends. It’s an amazing and
touching story that also happens to
have some very cool music.

Fabulous documentary movie, Fred (if this is the one with Fred Frith and I guess it is). Evelyn is a marvel. A couple of years ago I saw her perform together with Trilok Gurtu at a percussion festival in Holland. Very exciting to see these two stars (Evelyn being deaf) interact.
