That's actually the touch-sensitive organ he's playing. The electronic Sackbut is in the lower picture. There is a book about Dr. LeCaine called "The Sackbut Blues" which may still be available. You can contact the author, Gayle Young, at: sound@musicworks-mag.com . There is an accompanying LP that contains Dripsody, as well as several other pieces by LeCaine. I'm not sure if there are still copies available, or if it has been pressed on CD, but you can find out from Gayle. Actually, I just remembered that Dripsody is also available on a Naxos CD called "Introduction to Canadian Music." It's a 2-disc set with booklet and, as usual with Naxos, it's very reasonably priced. I don't remember the serial number off-hand, but if anyone's interested I can find out. Jim Bailey
