Boulez?????? Are you sure? I don't know about him ever using an ondes
martenot.  Which one is that? But I do remember having read that he
allegedly remarked Messiaen's Turangalila to be "music coming out of a
brothel".  Talking about inventions, I'd certainly rate French wine much
higher than this toy, wouldn't you Don?
