Music became her refuge and destiny. She became the vocalist and lyricist in Cocteau Twins in 1981, (a group founded in 1979 by her once romantic partner Robin Guthrie and Will Heggie): they spotted her dancing at a club one night and asked her to join their band. At the time, she was 17 years old and had never thought of herself as a singer. "

Founded in 1976 at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal by Jean Laurendeau, the Ensemble seeks to familiarize audiences throughout the world, and particularly in North America, with the Ondes Martenot, or Martenot waves, or ondes musicales (_musical waves_). It is an early electronic musical instrument played with a keyboard or by moving a ring along a wire, creating _wavering_ sounds similar to a theremin. A player of the ondes Martenot is called an ondist. It was invented in 1928 by the French cellist Maurice Martenot, a cross between and organ and a theramin. Martenot had been a radio operator during World War I, and developed the ondes Martenot in an attempt to replicate the accidental overlaps of tones between military radio oscillators. The Ensemble continues today its activities most often in the formation of wave quartet comprised of musicians Jean Laurendeau, Johanne Goyette, Lucie Filteau, Marie Bernard, Serge Gratton. Their intenton is to be an open ensemble where works composed not only for quartets but also for the most diverse formations are interpreted. - wiki See link for more detail on how it's played.

From Youtube: Emerging out of Fries, Virginia, millworker-turned-musician Henry Whitter can be counted among the first commercially recorded country musicians. His 1923 version of “The Wreck of the Southern Old 97” for the OKeh label proved to be one of Ralph Peer’s and Polk Brockman’s early successes, along with Fiddlin’ John Carson’s “The Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane,” and provided Vernon Dalhart with the blueprint for his multi-million selling “Wreck of the Old ’97” the following year. Whitter was one of the first country performers to use a harmonica rack, allowing him to play guitar and harmonica simultaneously, and while not considered a particularly distinguished musician or singer, his legacy is built on his enthusiasm for the music, and a fruitful partnership with fiddler G.B. Grayson that started in 1927. The recordings Whitter and Grayson made over the next three years are considered among the best of the hillbilly genre. Sadly, the partnership ended in 1930 when Grayson was killed in an auto accident. Whitter was devastated, rarely performing for the remainder of his life.
