Moog on History Channel
2004-09-13 by Bill Sautter
FYI... A program called "History's Lost & Found" aired a few days ago on the history channel (I don't know if it's aired before or if/when it will again). It included a segment on Bob Moog's very first synth. from 1964, built over a 2-week period in late 1963 with Herb Deutsch. Both Bob & Herb were interviewed. The original unit was bread-boarded, had the old hand-pressed sticky-labels, and used a double-manual keyboard hacked from an organ. The segment talked about Herb not being able to donate or sell the original Moog unit over the years. Finally, the Ford Museum (as in Motor Co.) in Deerborn, MI accepted it for their musical instrument section in the late '90s. Regards, Bill Bill Sautter E-Mail: sautter@...
