P.S:    American ABC-TV gave Bob Moog about 60 seconds airtime before
the ending of today's World News.  Mention made of the Moog synth,
from electronics tech-lab to renowned musicians . Mention made of the
Beatles, Doors, but not "Switched-On Bach"......

Included a recent photo of Bob seated at a MiniMoog with several more
progeny encircling him.   Anybody happen to see this short news story??
Anything else on other networks or cable/sat. channels ?

I guess a fitting tribute is Wakeman's rendition of Handel's "Messiah"
on MiniMoog-D and Tron voices....... A great 2nd is Tony Banks/Genesis'
ending of "Cinema Show/Aisle Of Plenty "  on MM-D and Tron voices.....

Thanks Bob,  for helping to change the style/sounds of music forever !
Here's to ya, and God Bless.....

Cheers,  -- Jerry Korb  ( Moogless in New England.....)
