While not with the words earth or world, because this is a song without words but it is my Earth Day music. For me, every day is Earth Day, because my motto is:

Thank you for listening & for your kind words! You are right, it takes effort to hit pitches right on. About the theremin: thereminist Clara Rockmore told me that when Leon Theremin invented his instrument, the saw was a popular musical instrument & he aimed to imitate its sound electronically.

Was this in a movie? I wonder who the sawist was.

Playing the saw on a moving bus is not easy! I once played on a train - the movement of the vehicle causes the saw to move, so it's harder to hold a steady pitch.

You know Melvyn Douglas did not really play the saw in the scene in this movie, right, as the sound on the soundtrack is of a bowed saw? Obviously someone who really knows how to play provided the soundtrack. I love how he calls the saw "The Indiana Harpsicord"😀🪚

When I was busking today, a nice gentleman told me he recognized my playing on the movie Time Out of Mind which he watched on Youtube. That's how I learned this movie is now on youtube. You can hear my musical saw as Richard Gere walks through Grand Central at 1:37:49 youtu.be/YzTGUlSozck?...
