Let's first keep in mind that we're talking here about the late 1950's, early 1960's.

"Max Crook cannibalized tubes and valves from vacuum cleaners and television sets...."

Tubes and valves from a vacuum cleaner?????????

"Further electronic parts were used from stoves to create pitch-bending devices."

Electronic parts.  Stoves.  You're kidding, right???

"The humming was very hip and was presented to Berry Gordy before Motown became Motown. Gordy passed on the recording but did like Max's organ."

Hmmmmmmmmm................or should I say, Hummmmmmmmm............

"Max became one of the first owners of the Moog organ (used for compositions such as "Popcorn" by the group 'Hot Butter')."

I wonder if Bob Moog knows about the Moog "organ".......


Okay, I'll shut up now.
